As a child with Tourette syndrome, Brad Cohen was ridiculed, beaten, mocked, and shunned. Children, teachers, and even family members found it difficult to be around him. As a teen, he was viewed by many as purposefully misbehaving, even though he had little power over the twitches and noises he produced, especially under stress. Even today, Brad is sometimes ejected from movie theaters and restaurants.

But Brad Cohen's story is not one of self-pity. His unwavering determination and fiercely positive attitude conquered the difficulties he faced in school, in college, and while job hunting. Brad never stopped striving, and after twenty-four interviews, he landed his dream job: teaching grade school and nurturing all of his students as a positive, encouraging role model. Front of the Class tells his inspirational story.

If you know someone who has Tourette Syndrome (TS) or of you ha e it yourself, I definitely recommend reading this. Brad Cohen does a great job of explaining TS, but also gives it hope. As a parent of a child with TS, it's so important for me to read about the success of others who have TS so I can share that with my child. This book has helped me do just that. It's giving our family grwat conversation starters and a reference to help us understand some of what our son is going through.

May I also add that I've had the pleasure of communicating with Brad and he walks the walk and talks the talk. He's just really a wonderful, open person and is someone to admire. I'm thankful he chose to openly share his life and his journey with TS.

I bought this book as a gift for a special little girl in my life. She has faced many struggles in Iife (mostly physical) so she could relate to this book immensely. She loves this book, it has inspired her. When she found out it was a movie as well we had to watch it. Reading about people that are experiencing the same struggles she's facing in middle school and life makes her not feel alone.

Brad Cohen is positive and an exuberant personality. He has his life-time companion which is called Tourette Syndrome (TS). When he was 7 years old, he started making noises and barking as well as jerking and twitching his face, neck and part of his body. When he was young, he and his family didn't know about TS. His doctor suggested that he could stop his tics intentionally. Brad was not able to control his tics and there was no cure. Because of this he had hard time at school and until 12 years old, he had no friends in his life. His school teachers didn't believe him so that he often was sent to the Principal's office.
However, his mother and his younger brother always supported Brad and they moved when he was 12 years old. Brad and Jeff began to attend a new school. However, teachers of the new school were the same. When Brad was sent to the Principal's office, however this Principal listened to Brad and believed him and gave a chance to explain his situation in front of the teachers and students. Before, he had no friends, and no one wanted to eat lunch with him. So he had never eaten lunch with someone at the cafeteria until he became 12 years old. The Principal who accepted Brad and the other ignorant teachers who didn't believe Brad's TS became the strongest incentive for him to become a teacher. He wanted to become a teacher who accepts children as they are.
Brad had also difficult time when applied for a job in Atlanta, Georgia. I don't want to share it here, but his positive thoughts and perseverance resolved this and became a teacher. He proved himself that he was very good at teaching and received the First Class Teacher of the Year award in the state of Georgia. You should read this book.
