Hey. Got tics? You’re not alone. Up to one in five kids will have at least one tic at some point. Including the guy who wrote this book!

Dr. B. Duncan McKinlay, Psychologist (‘Dr. Dunc’) has Tourette Syndrome. That means he’s been living with both motor tics (movements he has a hard time stopping) and phonic tics (noises he has a hard time stopping) for most of his life. He knows firsthand how annoying, embarrassing, misunderstood, painful, and disruptive tics can be. For years, he’s been educating people all around the world by means of his presentations and Websites, and through appearances on television, in magazines, and on film. Now, in “Nix Your Tics!”, he wants to share with you a little-known but well-established, evidence-based practice* he uses to manage tic symptoms in both himself and in his patients.

*as per criteria set out by the American Psychological Association’s Division 12 Task Force on Promotion and Dissemination of Psychological Procedures.

"Nix Your Tics! was a perfect mix of information, humour, illustrations and motivation.  It will no doubt help people "eliminate unwanted Tic symptoms", as well as build their self-confidence.  You have truly written a guide for young people, that is nothing short of inspiring." Alison St. Pierre, age 13

“Empowering! Dr. McKinlay, through his own personal and professional experiences, makes tic management understandable and does so in a humourous, yet sensitive way. It’s a must-read for kids and adults with TS.” Douglas W. Woods, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; Author “Managing Tourette Syndrome”
