Some Info About TS (Tourette's Syndrome) and Tics

What is Tourette's and Tics?

Tourette's and tics are neurological disorders. They can cause people to have sudden movements or sounds that are unwanted and unintentional. Most common tics are head jerks, blinking, shoulder shrugging, etc. This can affect people negatively.

For example, there is a part of Tourette's and tics that is called Coprolalia. This means that people with Tourette's or tics say non-appropriate words, sometimes when the person is at a young age such as 10. It can also cause adults to say those non-appropriate words around children. When people hear an adult say a curse word around their kid or kids, they get angry and tell the person that they shouldn't be cursing around their kid or kids. But the person can't help the fact that they have Tourette's or tics, so they can't stop their tics from happening and saying curse words around their kid or kids.

This also affects children in school. Some people may not have Coprolalia, but they may have verbal or vocal tics. Verbal tics are where the tics make people say phrases that are about a random topic. Vocal tics are sounds that are being made by the tics such as sniffing or screaming. The student could get kicked out of class, or even fail just because of their Tourette's or tics. To them, it won't be fair how they have to retake the whole grade over again and the rest of the students get to move on to the next grade.

Me: The chapters are most likely going to be short. Hopefully 3 paragraphs max.
