Driving with Tourette's: Insights, Tips, and Advice from guest Ione Georgakis from Tourette's Action

The Driving Confidence Podcast

In this episode, Kev and Tracey welcome a very special guest, Ione Georgakis from Tourette's Action. Ione, who has Tourette's, ADHD, and dyslexia, shares her experiences and expertise to shed light on Tourette's syndrome and its impact on driving.

We chat about:

• What Tourettes is (and how it is misunderstood)
• How it affects individuals behind the wheel
• What increases and decreases symptoms

While listening to this episode, ask yourself:

• What was your understanding of Tourette syndrome?
• How has your understanding changed while listening?
• What are effective ways you could support individuals you meet with Tourette's?
