== Early life ==
Marc Elliot was born in 1985 in St.Louis. He was diagnosed with Hirschsprung's disease, a rare intestinal disease, at birth.〔 A series of operations for the same left him with only 4 feet of small intestines.〔 He was diagnosed at Tourette's aged nine.〔 Elliot's case was brought into attention when he was covered by a local news channel, WTHR, for being ejected off a Greyhound. Sixteen-year-old Elliot repeatedly, and uncontrollably, shouted a racial slur. While the driver was aware of his condition, he was ejected from the bus taking him home to St. Louis as other passengers objected to his usage of the word.
It was after this incident that Elliot started speaking about his condition in order to raise awareness, making his first presentation at Clayton High School.〔
