+130 You'd hate to have the twitch type of Tourettes, because when you tell people you have Tourettes they would assume you swear a lot. amirite?

Everyone with Tourette Syndrome has tics and twitches. and almost nobody with it swears. only 3-5% have Coprolalia according to a most recent study.

Tourette Syndrome is not about people swearing or saying offensive. It is violent body movements, or small movements such as blinking eyes, shaking head, grunting, whistling, humming, shaking. Tourette Syndrome is made up of vocal and motor tics. I think you need more education about it. go to www.tsa-usa.org/ Everyone with Tourettes Twitches. They have at least 3 types of motor tics and at least 1 vocal tic. Such as grunting, clearing throat, humming, whistling, gasping, etc.
