Tourette syndrome (also called Tourette's syndrome, Tourette's disorder, Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, GTS or, more commonly, simply Tourette's or TS) is an HeredityNeuropsychiatrydisorder with onset in childhood, characterized by multiple physical (motor) Ticand at least one vocal (phonic) tic; these tics characteristically wax and wane. Tourette's is defined as part of a Spectrum_disorderof Tic_disorder, which includes transient and chronic tics.Tourette's was once considered a rare and bizarre Syndrome, most often associated with the exclamation of obscene words or socially inappropriate and derogatory remarks (Coprolalia), but this symptom is present in only a small minority of people with Tourette's.Tourette's is no longer considered a rare condition, but it may not always be correctly identified because most cases are classified as mild. Between 1 and 10 children per 1,000 have Tourette's; as many as 10 per 1,000 people may have tic disorders, with the more common tics of eye blinking, coughing, throat clearing, sniffing, and facial movements. Tourette's does not adversely affect intelligence or Life_expectancy. The severity of the tics decreases for most children as they pass through adolescence, and extreme Tourette's in adulthood is a rarity.

Is there someone who has Tourette Syndrome who would like to be interviewed?
Tourette Syndrome is, often (depending on severity), not a fun condition to have. Many sufferers may be unwilling to put themselves in spotlight. That being said, there are documentaries of interviewed Tourette's sufferers, one called 'I swear I can't help it'. Such documentaries are usually quite informative. Due to the sensitive nature of Tourette's being apparently an unpleasant condition, it is up to the inteviewee whether they be interviewed, not up to the interviewer.

Is tourettte syndrom inherited?
Yes and No. Some people with Tourette's Syndrome inherited it but about 10-15% represent new gene mutations. It is thought now to be a genetic disorder (carried on our genes) but persons, whose parents do not carry any of the genes that might be the cause, could be the FIRST in their family line to start it by having an abnormality in a gene develop during cell divisions after the ovum and sperm have joined. Not everyone who inherits a gene carrying the trait for Tourette's Syndrome will have it. Some will have very few or even no symptoms of Tourette's Syndrome but (primarily females) may develop Obsessive Compulsive symptoms. A search engine will give you a list of many very helpful entries about Tourette's Syndrome (TS). Some of those will be erroneous.
