Self esteem, confidence building horse riding session today. Ben did very well despite a few tics. Poor Joe had major tics after the grooming and was unable to ride at all. Very upset and disappointed. Luckily Teresa the girl that runs the sessions is very astute and has suggested riding first next week and grooming last.
Life can be so disappointing for people with Tourettes as the tics can come on at any time and stop the most wonderful of activities. Its not just school it gets in the way of - its life itself some days. :(
Tutor this afternoon, Joe worked through a lot of tics - well done Joe. Ben had really bad tics for about 20 mins and then managed to calm down enough to do a good 40 minutes - well done Ben. We would not have had the same outcome with school unfortunately.
