Expressing support for the recognition of June 7, 2026, as "Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day".

This resolution expresses support for recognizing June 7, 2026, as "Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day." It highlights Tourette Syndrome as an inherited neurological disorder characterized by involuntary tics, often accompanied by other mental health conditions, and affecting approximately 1 in 50 children.

The resolution emphasizes that there is no standard treatment or known cure, and the disorder is frequently misdiagnosed and misunderstood, underscoring the critical need for increased professional expertise and public knowledge.

By establishing this awareness day, the House of Representatives seeks to promote greater understanding, compassion, and acceptance for those living with Tourette Syndrome, ultimately working to break the stigma surrounding the condition and provide needed support.
