This is one of those conversations that make you realise there are still disabilities out there that do not have enough education or funding to provide the necessary understanding and support.

Bianca provides a confronting account of what it is like to live with tourette syndrome and tic disorder.

Some of you may remember hearing Bianca and her family’s story on 60 Minutes, when she was 16 and living with the worst case of this disorder in Australia at the time.

Bianca’s positivity and willingness to share her life on her social pages is bringing greater awareness and support. By doing so she has created a community that embraces and accepts people with all different kinds of disabilities.

Her work has also seen her transition to become a motivational speaker in this space.

What an inspiring human…
