I would say no. I have TS, and I have a PhD in physics. I am regarded by my colleagues as being " very bright". In my observation, people with TS often have above average mental ability with a touch of obsessive compulsive behavior (useful for a job like mine). TS is not a handicap as much as it is a nuisance. The tics are at their worst during adolescence, and fade away for many in adulthood. If I had to admit any handicap at all, it would be social (kids can be mean to what they don't know) and mobility (after years of repetitive motion, my joints hurt), but certainly not mentally.

Are people with Tourette Syndrome accepted by society?
Sufferers of Tourette's Syndrome are largely accepted by society. But there are many misconceptions about their behaviour that it could be linked with drug abuse or mental retardation, despite being a neurological disorder with psychological causes and influences. Many in society also believe that due to their sometimes aggressive movements and tics that they are violent, while others believe that they are attention seeking through pretending to have involuntary movements. In reality their actions are involuntary and their severity is subject mood and environment at the time. It is a disorder which can be moderated with medication and psychological treatment and sufferers do not, on average suffer from any other psychological illnesses as a result from the disorder. They are mentally stable individuals. It is best to fully research the true causes of Tourette's Syndrome and it's symptoms and not to base your judgments on biased views such as within the media. People with Tourette's are no different than anyone else! These days my brother can't do things that other people do like go to the movies and stuff like that. people always think that Tourette's is when people just scream curse words but its not only that so if you see someone that you think may have Tourette's don't stare them down just look at them as if you look at any other person because i get very aggravated with people when they make fun of people that are just like them especially since my brother has Tourette's!
