The reason I designed this web site is that I wanted people with and without TS to know more about it. So now I'm going to tell you a bit about TS and what it's like for me to have it. Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder which causes a person to make involuntary twitches or movements and sometimes even noises. These movements and noises are reffered to as tics. There are two kinds of tics vocal tics and motor tics .
Vocal tics are the noises and sounds.
Motor tics are the twitches and movements. Tourette syndrome is genetic and is inherited from your parents when you are born. There are many different vocal tics as well as many different motor tics. Motor tics can be anything from blinking to kicking your leg. Although there is no known cure for tourette syndrome there are medications you can take to help control the tics.
