THE MUSTREAD MEMOIR BEHIND THE MAJOR BAFTA AWARDWINNING FILM, I SWEAR, STARRING ROBERT ARAMAYO.From the remarkable Scottish campaigner, this is the powerful and moving autobiography offering extraordinary insight into what it is like to live with a severe form of Tourettes Syndrome.Funny and heartfelt ... this skilfully told tale deserves praise for how it lets us nonsweary people see inside the ordinary, albeit anxious, mind of someone with Tourette syndrome. THE TIMESBorn in the 1970s on the Scottish Borders, Johns was ten when his tics first arrived, as if from nowhere. Previously a happy, popular, footballmad boy he was labelled disruptive, rude, and even mad. As his condition progressed, from blinks and jerks to involuntary rude and obscene shouting, John was bullied, rejected alienated from his family and a society that had no idea what to make of him.Hospitalized and drugged for months, it was only an extraordinary and transformative friendship, and Johns dogged optimism, that turned his life around, making I Swear an inspirational story of triumph over adversity.Through Johns eyes, we see Tourettes not just as a medical condition, but as a lens through which we can all better understand the importance of human connection. And how essential, as well as ultimately rewarding, it can be to keep going and never give up.An astonishing tale about an amazing man.
