We talk with Esther Quaintmere, an engineer and race car driver in the UK with Tourette. And yes, Tourette and racing intersect strongly for her. And although she’s had a hard time accepting her own TS, she’s advocating and is in a prime position to be a role model. She was also cool enough to put the podcast logo on her dang race car! And raced with it on there! Ben won’t shut up about it.
Oh, and when we say “fake Tourette’s,” what comes to mind? The conversation drifts into that topic, which a lot of Touretters will relate to, as will anyone who feels they might have a “standard” to match for acceptance.
Did you know Tourette’s Podcast isn’t just for Touretters? Of course it isn’t. It’s for everyone. This is the place to have open, honest, long-form conversations about living with insecurities, acceptance, self-acceptance and things out of your control.
Tourette’s Podcast is proud to have the Tourette Association of America as its primary sponsor. All kinds of answers at https://tourette.org/.
