there's a one page excerpt over at amazon.
hopefully, this link will get you there:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0375724 ... eader-page

just wanna add - i've had 2 tourette's students to teach and each one's energy is totally different.

One, had to jump up and draw genitals on the board in seventh grade but by 11th and 12th, the guy was a fountain of sensitivity and creative bloom. i just had to turn him onto a computer and he began to be able to read what he wrote and let himself go.
An amazing person in word, thought and music.

Another is like a live wire. When he gets nervous, he gives off 7000 watts of power. My job is to direct him without giving him cause to exponentially explode.

tourette's is one fascinating condition.
thanks axanderdeath for the link.
