Marc Elliot has a book coming out in January 2012 'What makes you tic?'
'Marc attended Washington University in St. Louis, where he majored in biology and pursued a pre-medicine path in hopes of following the footsteps of the pediatric surgeon who saved his life. Upon graduating in May of 2008, Marc embarked upon a speaking tour around the nation. It was just something to do before he became a doctor. His subject was tolerance.
In his presentation, "What Makes You Tic?," he took his experiences of not fitting in, of not feeling comfortable with others, to discuss fundamental lessons about tolerance—how to live with our own, and others' differences. Little did he know this would become his calling.
Over the past three years, he has spoken to hundreds of groups and organizations, reaching out to over 75,000 individuals in the US and internationally. At the age of 26, Marc has now found a way to use his own story, and his triumph over handicaps as a way of helping individuals around the world overcome think about tolerance in a new light.'
