Tourette syndrome (also called Tourette's syndrome, Tourette's disorder, Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, GTS or, more commonly, simply Tourette's or TS) is an inherited neuropsychiatric disorder with onset in childhood, characterized by multiple physical (motor) tics and at least one vocal (phonic) tic. These tics characteristically wax and wane, can be suppressed temporarily, and are preceded by a premonitory urge. Tourette's is defined as part of a spectrum of tic disorders, which includes provisional, transient and persistent (chronic) tics.
Tourette's was once considered a rare and bizarre syndrome, most often associated with the exclamation of obscene words or socially inappropriate and derogatory remarks (coprolalia), but this symptom is present in only a small minority of people with Tourette's. Tourette's is no longer considered a rare condition, but it is not always correctly identified because most cases are mild and the severity of tics decreases for most children as they pass through adolescence. Between 0.4% and 3.8% of children and adolescents ages 5 to 18 may have Tourette's; the prevalence of other tic disorders in school-age children is higher, with the more common tics of eye blinking, coughing, throat clearing, sniffing, and facial movements. Extreme Tourette's in adulthood is a rarity, and Tourette's does not adversely affect intelligence or life expectancy.
It is very important to know, that I merely found this video. I do not know the children in the film, nor do I know the very talented filmmaker who created. I, under no circumstances, deserve or want credit for this film, other than the good sense to post it on my channel. I am an elementary school principal, so I posted the video for the staff and parents at my school so we could all have a better understanding for children suffering with this affliction. I have not come back to this in a long time, and I am shocked at the number of views. Most comments are wonderful, but some are offensive. Comments not based on the content of this film will deleted and the author will most likely be banned. Please keep comments tasteful.
(Ads finish at 17:12 PLEASE CLICK to skip) TOURETTE'S To the outside world, it can appear something of a joke, but Tourette's is no laughing matter for those living with the syndrome. Sufferers' lives are forever marred by the constant, uncontrollable urge to shout, swear and tic inappropriately. In this remarkable story, we meet Jess, who finds it impossible to control the urge to say the word 'biscuit'. She says it hundreds, if not thousands of times every single day, often while punching herself in the chest. Jess invites Sunday Night into her life to experience what it's like to live with Tourette's. It is heartbreaking television. Rahni Sadler also meets an amazing young jazz singer who swears and tics uncontrollably off stage, but transforms into a composed and talented songstress o...

This video was made by my daughter after my son suffered abuse 3 times in the same day due to his Tourettes, resulting in him becoming so agitated he lost control over his tics and spent several hours in our local A&E; dept while they tried to calm him down. She made this video to raise awareness of Tourette Syndrome. Its not all about swearing
instagram: megganmyrra Finally a video showing you all of my tics. I noticed after making the video that i left a few out but its no big deal, i'll just include them in the next tic update.
DISCLAIMER: THIS VIDEO IS NOT A MEANS OF DIAGNOSIS. If you suspect that you or someone you know may have tics, please make an appointment with a neurologist. Although the children in this video all have Tourette's, just because you are experiencing something similar to what you see in this video does not mean you have Tourette's. Only a doctor can properly diagnose you. While tics can and do often indicate Tourette's Syndrome, there are many other types of tic disorders and disorders that produce symptoms similar to tics. This is a video of the many different tics of Tourette Syndrome. Almost anything can be a tic. Tics can be highly noticeable or not noticeable at all. They can be loud or quiet, severe or mild. Share this video to help others learn that there are a wide range of tics, a...

For more info on Tourettes Syndrome please visit T.L.C. http://www.tourettes-action.org.uk/tlc/ I know your not supposed to laugh at this but it's just so damn funny when you watch it for the first time... This is a clip from a program called "Strange Behaviours" which was shown on The National Geographic channel this week. If you missed it and get the chance to watch it sometime then I recommend you do. Like I say on first viewing to most of us it really is quite funny but more importantly when you watch the full program you realise just what hell Tourettes sufferers must go through in their daily lives. Just wanted to say how much I admire those who took part in this fascinating program for being so courageous to stand up and say, "hey I'm not mentally Ill or crazy" and if people wh...

Director/Producer: Matt Duhamel: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm6055103/?ref_=tt_ov_dr Producer: Heather Duhamel When we are faced with overwhelming challenges in our lives, it is often said that it's not the challenges themselves, but it's how we react to them that matters. We may be surprised that sometimes the challenges we face can often motivate us to achieve more than we ever expected. The documentary film, "What Makes Me Tic?" is a powerful look into four average Americans living with the often misunderstood disorder, Tourette's Syndrome. How do their "tics" affect their daily lives? Are they seen as weird or crazy in public? Does living with Tourette's cause them to be anti-social or depressed? These questions are answered when "What Makes Me Tic?" interviews Natasha, Josh, ...

Produced by a person with Tourette syndrome, this film's purpose is to help create a better understanding of what it is like for a person to experience the disorder. Many with TS have agreed that the video provides an unsurpassed inside view of "how it feels" to experience the tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms associated with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome. The movie also presents a look into the history of the disorder and the treatment of people with TS in the past. This historical information reveals the roots of many misconceptions that exist today about Tourette's. Although every person with Tourette syndrome experiences different symptoms (and very few people have all of them), there are many commonly-found symptoms that are addressed in detail in this program. The creator of ...
