In this special conversation, John is joined by his co-author Abbie Ross, author of Hippy Dinners, to explore the experiences behind the book – from growing up with Tourette’s and confronting misunderstanding and stigma, to finding his voice as a campaigner and using his experiences to make a difference to others.

Expect honesty, humour and extraordinary stories as John talks about the realities of living with Tourette’s, the people and experiences that have shaped him, and why speaking openly about the condition matters.
