Tourette's syndrome (TS.) is a neurological disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics. Symptoms begin in childhood and cause those affected to make movements and noises they cannot control. While not life-threatening, TS is nonetheless often painful, disruptive and isolating. Many with TS also have associated conditions such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and/or learning disabilities. While it is believed to be genetic, the exact cause of the symptoms is still unknown. Studies indicate approximately 1 in every 100 school age boys and 1 in every 300-400 school age girls may be afflicted with Tourette's. Although symptoms usually diminish in adulthood, T.S. is considered lifelong.
