Thom has Tourette Syndrome and when she got word of what happened with John Davidson, it brought to the surface many of the misunderstandings and confused reactions she has spent her life trying to fight.
“There are a lot of myths and oversimplifications about Tourette Syndrome, and a global frenzy is not the best place to have a conversation about them,” the U.K.-based Thom, 45, said by Zoom from her home Monday evening as she reflected on the events. “And it’s all happening in a climate with increased hostility to disabled people, with threats to Medicaid and the Ada.”
Davidson at the ceremony engaged in “ticcing,” the term for when people who have Tourette Syndrome, or Ts, involuntarily say or do something that can have the effect of making others uncomfortable.
