Tourette’s syndrome is an inherited neurobehavioral movement disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics. Beginning in childhood, it causes those affected to make movements and noises they cannot control. Additionally, many are plagued by obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder, oppositional behavior, and various learning disabilities. Studies indicate approximately 1 in every 100 school age boys and 1 in every 300-400 school age girls may be afflicted with T.S. The views and recommendations expressed by speaker(s) at these support group meetings are not necessarily endorsed or promoted by the TSA of Texas or The Tourette Syndrome Association.
