Living with Tourette’s: Tics, OCD & Finding Freedom Through Music

Living with Tourette’s: Tics, OCD & Finding Freedom Through Music

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan and Simon are joined by musician and advocate Paul Stanworth, who shares his lived experience of growing up and navigating life with Tourette’s Syndrome and OCD.


Together, they unpack how Tourette’s often overlaps with other neurodivergent conditions like OCD, ADHD, and autism — and why understanding these connections is so important. Paul opens up about his early childhood memories of tics, including the hidden and often misunderstood compulsions he learned to mask from a young age. He explains how Tourette’s is not just about visible or vocal tics, but a constant internal experience driven by overwhelming urges and rituals that can affect every moment of daily life.


This episode is an honest, emotional, and ultimately hopeful conversation about understanding yourself, finding your path, and embracing neurodivergence — even when the world doesn’t yet understand it.
