• Tourettes is more common in boys than girls.
• Coprolalia eg. Swearing tic, only comes out in the most severe cases.
• No two people with TS have the same tics. Each person with TS is as different as every snowflake.
• More people with TS also have co-morbid conditions — ADD, ADHD, OCD, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar, eating disorders, sensory processing disorder (SPD) and dysgraphia, just to name a few.
• There are two types of tics, motor and vocal.
• Different types of Vocal Tics:
Coprolalia - is involuntary swearing or the involuntary utterance of obscene words or socially inappropriate and derogatory remarks.
Echolalia - meaningless repetition of another person's spoken words.
Palilalia - spontaneous repetition of one's own words.
