The "dammit" 🤣 ⁠ ⁠ Tourette syndrome is a neurological condition characterised by tics, sudden, repetitive movements or sounds that a person feels compelled to make. These can include blinking, facial movements, throat clearing, sniffing, or vocal sounds. Tics often begin in childhood, typically between the ages of 5 and 10.⁠ ⁠ Contrary to popular belief, involuntary swearing (known as coprolalia) affects only a small percentage of people with Tourette syndrome. Symptoms can vary in intensity and may change over time, often becoming milder in adulthood. Tourette’s is not caused by behaviour or parenting, it is linked to differences in brain chemistry and function. While there is no cure, many people manage the condition through behavioural therapy, medication, and support.⁠ ⁠ 🎥: ticstripstruths⁠ ⁠ #tourette #touretteawareness #ladbible
