What does Tourette syndrome do to the body?
Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder that normally occurs in childhood. People with Tourette Syndrome tic, and tics are repetitive movements that they can't control. People with Tourette Syndrome can grow out of it, and they can be just as successful as someone without Tourette Syndrome. Roughly 2% of Americans have Tourette Syndrome, yet a lot of people still know nothing about the disorder. You can get Tourette Syndrome genetically, and there is a 50% chance you will pass it on to your child. There is also the possibility that there is an imbalanced level of Dopamine in the patents' body, which results in tics. Hope that helps!

Yes, people are born with Tourette, though the severity of its manifestation may be influenced by environmental issues. The vast majority of people with Tourette Syndrome have inherited it.

It is often difficult to tell whether someone has Tourette, because the disease manifests itself differently in each person - so some traits may never be noticed as they lie close enough to normality, or be without symptoms entirely.

How do you know if you have turrets?
The best way to know if you have Tourette's is to get tested. Tourette's comes in many forms. You should see a doctor.
How do people with tourette's syndrome make out?
Make out? I assume you mean kissing. And the answer is very carefully. When a boy and girl like each other very much....you know the rest. Just because you have Tourettes doesn't mean you can't lead a normal life. Some people's tics are worse than others, but just because someone has Tourettes does not automatically mean they can't do what everyone else does...Trust me. I would know. I look like I'm having a severe case of the hiccups or mini seizures, but I can do everything just as well as you.
Are Tourette Syndrome sufferers mentally handicapped?
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.
Who is tourette's guy?
The Tourette's guy is a man named "Danny" who is purported to suffer from Tourette's syndrome, a syndrome with many symptoms including the inability to control one's vocalizations (swearing). Danny gained popularity through a series of online videos (which some believe to be staged sketches, while others believe to be completely real). In the videos, Danny says words that are spelled very similarly to "ship," "pass," "funk," "teat dirt," "balls," "Fashion Bug" and "deck or clock." Apparently after reaching the end of their taping, the video makers reported in 2007 that Danny died due to complications from a car accident. This was, as Danny would (almost) say, "a great big bunch of BULL SHIP," as two new videos appeared in 2010. Actually, Danny, "The Tourette's Guy" is well alive. Nobody really knows if he had faked his death or someone spread a horrible rumor that he is dead, but yes, he is alive and well. He posted a video on Christmas of 2009, called "the return of tourette's guy" and will be making more videos in the 2010 year. There have been rumors that he went to jail... enjoy!! He is a guy who swears and says Bob Saget. *Danny Is playing pool* -Car honks- OH BOB SAGET!!!

If your child has adhd and maybe turrets should you discipline as you would a normal child?
Yes and no. The child will exhibit some behaviors that are because of the ADHD and the Tourette's syndrome, and those are behaviors that cannot be helped and they can't be held responsible for. However, they still need to know when behaviors are not socially acceptable, and they will also have times that they are acting up like any other kid and will need to be disciplined.
