I saw a video of this guy with severe tourette’s syndrome, complete with constant tics so his body was always in motion – he is a painter – even with these spasms constantly racking his body – and he is the most amazing painter – his pictures are so vibrant and passionate and incredibly vital, very powerful – almost like he channels the energy pulsing through his body and his mind through this creative medium. i went googling to find him and i think his name is Lyle Maze, evidently they just made a movie about him – but i saw the real guy who was interviewed for a clinical course, not a film i watched. i can’t find ANYTHING on him on the internet except stuff about the film, which is too bad. anyway my impression as always is that we have to be careful what we pathologize… once you label something you tend to stop trying to understand it and so much can be missed and lost.
