Sharing information and support is at the heart of TSA's mission. This section of our site is the place to access informative articles discussing the everyday challenges of living with adult TS.  One of these days, TS will be "irrelevant".  Until then, TSA offers these articles to shed light, break down issues into manageable components, stimulate your creative problem solving, and support self advocacy.  Please send any thoughts or comments to LivingWithTS@tsa-usa.org
