Tourette's is often associated with Tics. They are basically repetitive and uncontrollable outbursts of movements or speech. Most common are eyes that twitch or blink alot and even people who keep jerking their heads. There are many different kinds of tourette's though, as far as specific movements and speech patterns.

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.

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.
1 in every 5,00o to 7,000 people have Marfan syndrome.
