Hey guys,
I have seen Front of the class movie in HBO.It was an awesome movie i have ever seen and it is an original story of a man named Brad cohen who had diagnosed with a Tourrete syndrome Syndrome who overcomes considerable odds to become a gifted teacher.I have searched this keyword in a wikipedia to know what this syndrome really is?? I jus define here what this really is? Tourette Syndromeis a neurological disorder characterised by tics which means there is a sudden rapid movements or vocalisations that can occur repeatedly.I can see in the film that Brad cohen(i dunno his original name in the play) was having continuous rapid movements of the vocalisation.I thought how would it actually came from and what are the symptoms for that?
The main cause for this syndrome is that abnormal metabolism of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin are involved with the disorder. It can also spreads from parents to their children about 50 percent.There are some related problems occur with TS.I will list it below:
- Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Difficulties with Impulse Control (disinhibition)
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Various Learning Disabilities (such as dyslexia)
- Various Sleep Disorders.
And yes there are some medicines and physiotheraphy exercises to cure that .Initially they gave some antibiotic medicine named Clonidine can be given for a patient who are suffered with this syndrome.There is an interesting fact that Tim Howard a goal keeper from Everton F.C has this syndrome.
He says "Tourette's Syndrome is not a problem. ... It doesn't affect me one way or another on or off the field."
And coming to the film Front of the class inspired by original story by a man named Brad Cohen who suffered with this syndrome.This film tells how hw overcomes this disease and become the greatest ever teacher of all time.
For referrence to his biography i will give his wiki link see this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Cohen
