No. Tourette's syndrome is a neurological disorder, typically caused by an abnormally structured basal ganglia and prefrontal cortex. It may also be related to levels of noradrenalin, seratonin and dopamine in the brain. It is not a mental disorder.

Evidence suggests that individuals with Tourette's without comorbid conditions have a higher-than-predicted* IQ (based on a statistical model taking into account their age, family history and background), and may be more skilled at grammer and native-language skills. No studies on mathematical skills have been performed.

Is a child entitled to disability benefits with touretts?

A child may be entitled to disability benefits for Tourette syndrome if the condition significantly impairs their daily functioning and ability to participate in age-appropriate activities. In the United States, the Social Security Administration (SSA) evaluates disabilities based on specific criteria, including the severity of symptoms and their impact on the child's life. Parents must provide medical documentation and evidence of how Tourette syndrome affects the child's educational and social development. Ultimately, eligibility for benefits is determined on a case-by-case basis.
