But yeah, there used to be a Tourette's Island charity, that's long gone.
As I said, there's more support for other rare conditions, which I've never heard of until I got diagnosed with them myself.
I mean, I collect diagnoses like Pokemon at the moment.
But yeah, it's weird that, as I say, other countries can manage it.
As I say, I've tried to get in touch with obviously TDs and...
That's what this group is trying to do as well.
I think they had a meeting with the president as well recently with another TD or something along those lines where they got to meet
I'm just trying to get the best out there.
I mean, as I say, if any producers are listening, I've tried to suggest a documentary to RTE, and RTE told me to go speak to producers directly.
I'm just waiting to see if I can hear back from any of them.
But yeah, no, it's just a case of, yeah, if you see someone, I think to get the message out, if you see someone, regardless whether it's Tourette's or anything, if you don't seem quite right, maybe ask them what's wrong or ask if they're okay.
Because not only with Tourette's itself, obviously we've had mental health awareness as well recently.
Asking if someone's okay, that could be a difference between potentially life and death sometimes.
I'm going on a tangent from Tourette's to mental health here, but it helps in all sorts of ways of life, just asking someone if they're okay.
That could help them.
Yeah, that's a brilliant message to be spreading.
Thank you, thank you.
