In the vibrant land of Limited Edition Land, there was a colorful parrot named Tour. Tour was a lively and cheerful parrot who loved to chat and mimic sounds. She lived in a beautiful treehouse with her family and friends.

One day, Tour’s teacher announced that each student would have the chance to share something unique about themselves with the class. Tour was excited! She knew exactly what she wanted to share. When it was her turn, Tour flew to the front of the class and perched on her favorite branch-shaped podium.

“Hi, everyone! I’m Tour, and I have something called Tourette’s Syndrome,” she announced proudly. Some of her classmates looked confused, so Tour began to explain.

“Tourette’s Syndrome is a condition that makes me do things I can’t control, like making sudden movements or sounds called tics. It’s like when you have to sneeze or scratch an itch—it’s something I just have to do.”

Tour demonstrated some of her tics, like blinking quickly or nodding her head. Her classmates watched with interest, eager to learn more.

“I also have some words I say that I can’t control, but they’re just a part of me, like when you might hiccup or yawn,” Tour continued. “It’s nothing to be scared of, and it doesn’t hurt me. I’m still me, Tour the parrot!”

Her classmates listened attentively, and some of them asked questions. Tour answered each one with a smile, happy to share more about Tourette’s Syndrome with her friends.

Afterward, Tour felt proud of herself for sharing something personal with her classmates. She realized that it’s okay to be different and that her Tourette’s Syndrome was just one part of what made her special.

From then on, Tour’s classmates understood her tics and quirks, and they accepted her just the way she was—a colorful, chatty parrot with a big heart.
