This neurological disorder causes him to make involuntary sounds, including a constant stream of profanity. He feels these words and sounds are forced out of him, beyond his ability to exercise control. As we see in the film, daily life is very difficult once he leaves the confines of his home. People who pass him in the neighborhood feel that John is verbally insulting them, since they do not understand his illness. Normal adolescent friendships are almost impossible to sustain because of his alienating behavior. Dr. Oliver Sacks, who appears in the film, has spent many years studying this syndrome. He describes its history and treatment and lends insight to John s symptoms. It should be noted that most people with this disorder are not as severely affected as John, who represents the extreme end of the spectrum of Tourette Syndrome. 001355819 521__ $$aFor College; Adult audiences. 001355819 546__ $$aThis edition in English. 001355819 650_0 $$aTourette syndrome. 001355819 653_0 $$aHealth 001355819 655_7 $$aDocumentary films.$$2lcgft 001355819 7001_ $$aKaye, Valerie. 001355819 7761_ $$cOriginal$$w(OCoLC)747796979 001355819 85640 $$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?FLON;1641392 001355819 901__ $$aASP1641392/flon$$bVaAlASP$$c25187$$tbiblio 001355819 905__ $$uadmin 001355819 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1355819$$pGLOBAL_SET 001355819 944__ $$a1784713 001355819 945__ $$aThe Whole World 001355819 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001355819 980__ $$aBIB 001355819 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001355819 983__ $$aOnline
