About Tourette Syndrome (TS)
TS is a neurological condition of unknown origin, affecting one child in a hundred. It is characterised by tics, involuntary and uncontrollable sounds and movements.
TS is sometimes known as multiple tic disorder or tic spectrum disorder.
It is also associated in the majority of cases with other behaviours, notably Obsessional Compulsive Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder. Coprolalia (involuntary bad language), the most notorious but most misunderstood feature, affects only one person in ten.
TS starts in childhood. For about half of children with TS, the condition continues into adulthood.
