Having tourettes?!
Question: my little brother has just been diagnosed with tourettes. he's had it for years and obviously the entire family is used to it and hardly notice it anymore.
at the moment he attends quite a small school where everyone is familiar and accepting of his condition but he's going to a different school after summer and i'm worried about bullying and how this will affect his ability to get a job after school.

I'm sorry about your brother's diagnosis. I hope he is under a doctor's care and you have investigated all the possible medications that may be able to help tone things down for school. At school, it may help for your brother/parents to educate the other kids about his condition, perhaps with the help of his teacher or school nurse? I'm not saying this will stop the teasing, because let's face it, kids can be pretty crappy to somebody who is "different", but a little education can't hurt. Good luck!
That's heart breaking to hear and how it will affect his chances in the labor market depends on a lot of factors not the least of which include how severe and obvious it is.
