Sharn Davidson, a teacher and mother of three, has lived with Tourette syndrome for most of her life. Her unique form of Tourette's involves making two distinct roaring sounds, which she describes as dinosaur noises. These sounds, named Kevin and Terry by her children and students, are often heard in inappropriate situations, triggering her tics. Sharn's journey with Tourette's began with occasional tics as a child, but a traumatic incident on a freeway at age 21 significantly increased their frequency. It took five years for a doctor to diagnose her condition, and she has since learned to manage her tics and use them to educate others about diversity. Sharn's mild form of Tourette's allows her to embrace her differences and share her experiences with others, including students diagnosed with the syndrome. She has tattoos of her dinosaurs, Kevin and Terry, as a symbol of her acceptance and integration of her condition into her life.
