tourette

While his schizophrenia probably comes with very bad episodes, there is absolutely nothing that can be found in his own words allowing for the conclusion that this view is just a tourette-like symptom.

I was about to ask this on reddit, Tourette is very awkward, borderline difficult, to witness (had a few classmates suffering it) because it's really tense and chaotic, but at the same time the randomness of it make it easily dismissible on the emotional side because it's not necessarily coherent.

I've never had Tourette's, or any Tourette's-like symptoms, but I completely sympathize with those who do.

I don't think the comparison is apt; a person with Tourette's has "spasms" (everyone knows about the verbal, but also has muscular manifestation).

In a way, I feel like what someone with Tourette's must have felt like, back before Tourette's was medically or societally acknowledged.

Offense is in the eye of the beholder, if someone has Tourette's would you berate them for profanity?

When he was younger he had some low grade Tourette's-like symptoms and various other neurological issues.

I imagine if a Tourette's patient had a "reply" button for their words to come out, they'd choose to never click it.

But dealing with an incumbent telco or cable company quickly makes me look like I have Tourette's.

I think the disease is Tourette's Syndrome.

I mean, really, do you have Tourette's or something?

Misophonia is supposed to have some kind of possible connection to Tourette's.

In a conversation that lasted an hour, I didn't get a single word in after making the comment, "Well I'm not really sure if I have this..." A few years later I did try taking some Adderall, unofficially acquired from a friend, and in three days it caused me to start having all kinds of mental health problems (OCD and Tourette's type symptoms, fyi) that I'm still not fully recovered from.

I worked with an administrative assistant with Tourette's syndrome who would routinely blurt out observations about the sexual/physical characteristics of female co-workers, provoking "managers" passing by to take the opportunity to assert their inclination to be the strong gentleman and challenge this poor fellow to a fight for m'lady's honor.
