Summary: The biographical detail on page 241 describes Nick van Bloss as 38 years old and living in North London. "His first tic emerged at age seven and he was finally diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome at 21. Trained as a pianist at London's Royal College of Music, he has won numerous competitions, played concerts, taught, examined and given master-classes in the UK and internationally. Now "retired" as a musician, he considers himself a professional Tourettist." However, he returned to the concert stage in April 2009, to critical acclaim. He is quoted as saying: "Tourette's is my fuel, it's the fire within, the burning energy. If I didn't have it, I wouldn't be able to feel creativity in the way that I do."
