Tics may be motor or vocal
Simple vocal tics are meaningless sounds or noises
Complex vocal tics involve meaningful words, phrases or sentences
Tourettes syndrom.
Uhh, no.
Yes, repeating one's own last word or sound can be considered a complex vocal tic. Complex tics involve more elaborate movements or vocalizations compared to simple tics, and repeating one's own last word or sound falls into this category.
Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. These tics can be motor (such as blinking or head jerking) or vocal (such as grunting or throat clearing). The severity and frequency of tics can vary widely among individuals and may fluctuate over time. While there is no cure, various treatments, including behavioral therapy and medication, can help manage symptoms.

A repetitive movement that is difficult, if not impossible, to control. Tics can affect any group of muscles. The most common are facial tics, such as eye- blinking, nose-twitching, or grimacing. Tics that affect the muscles used to produce speech are known as vocal tics, and can range from grunts or whistles to the repetition of complete words or phrases. Complex motor tics involve multiple, sequenced movements, and can include behaviors such as twirling in place, tapping a certain number of times, or stooping to touch the ground. You can have a tic without having Tourette's Syndrome. Tourette's syndrome is a disorder that prominently features tics, often to the point of causing significant distress and problems functioning. It is more common in people with ADHD, obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety but it can occur on its own.
Tics usually occur in "bouts" with many tics over a short interval of time

Yes, all mammals can have tics.
ADHD and Tourette's syndrome are closely related; some people have both of these together. When a physician is initially screening someone for ADHD, he or she should ask about vocal tics to see if the patient also may have Tourette's. Strattera (or any of the other ADHD medications) can sometimes bring out these behaviors in people (not cause them--just "unmask" them). If this is happening to you, speak with your physician.
