offensive programme

It has been bought to my attention via a fellow Touretter that there is a documentary soon to be shown called the Undateables. Firstly the title of the programme should make you realise that this is insensitive. I need to find out more but the gist of it is that it will feature young adults with TS, Aspergers and narcolepsy and try to fix them up through a dating agency.  The programme makers claim that it will be a sensitive look at how difficult it is for people with these conditions to find love.  I fear that this will be another cheap laugh at vulnerable peoples expense. If it wasnt the title of the programme would be very different. I will find out more and post but I do know that other Touretters are not in favour of this kind of programme to bring awareness. There are much better ways of doing this other than sensationalism.  No doubt it will include the stereotypical Touretter that swears uncontrollably making the public believe once again that this is what TS is about. This is very very wrong.  TS is a much more complex condition and only 10% of TS sufferers also have coprolalia which is the proper name for the swearing condition.
I would say, if you want to make yourself aware and educate others around you please do not watch this kind of programme but go to the official websites such as Tourettes Action where there is a wealth of information and video clips by people that have great knowledge and experience, with no angle other than to educate.
