Echolalia is the story of best selling writer Jackson Evans, who is diagnosed as having Tourette syndrome, a complex genetic disorder characterized by tics, vocal noises Including obscenities), and obsessive-compulsive behavior. At first he is grateful for the answers it bring him, but Jackson soon realizes that the real problems are just beginning. The story is told in a style that captures the rhythms that soothe the Tourette. It ends with the ultimate truth – the answer isn’t in being diagnosed, the answer is in living.
