Advice - helping neighbour feel more comfortable in public Hi there, please educate me (politely) if I offend with any of my words, I have little exposure to tourettes and don't know if there are better ways of explaining the situation.


I don't have tourettes but a lady in my neighbourhood does. Everyone stares at her as she goes about her day and no doubt it makes her anxious which I've read can make the tics worse. I don't know the form of tourettes that she has but she yells things out frequently.


I always see her rushing to get home, I assume to get away from the people staring or laughing (busy neighbourhood in our city so there are LOTS of people). 


Is there anything I can do or say to make her feel more comfortable/less anxious? I don't know her personally but would like to be able to help in  some way.
