What Is Tourette Syndrome
tourette syndrome is an inherited, neurological disorder characterized by repeated and involuntary body movements (tics) and uncontrollable vocal sounds.
http://www.tsa-usa.org/what_is/whatists.html

Extractions: Tourette Syndrome is an inherited, neurological disorder characterized by repeated and involuntary body movements (tics) and uncontrollable vocal sounds. In a minority of cases, the vocalizations can include socially inappropriate words and phrases called coprolalia. These outbursts are neither intentional nor purposeful. Involuntary symptoms can include eye blinking, repeated throat clearing or sniffing, arm thrusting, kicking movements, shoulder shrugging or jumping. These and other symptoms typically appear before the age of 18 and the condition occurs in all ethnic groups with males affected 3 to 4 times more often than females. Although the symptoms of TS vary from person to person and range from very mild to severe, the majority of cases fall into the mild category. Associated conditions can include attentional problems, impulsiveness and learning disabilities. Most people with TS lead productive lives and participate in all professions. Increased public understanding and tolerance of TS symptoms are of paramount importance to people with Tourette Syndrome. The disorder was named for a French neuropsychiatrist who successfully assessed the disorder in the late 1800s: Georges Gilles de la Tourette Georges Gilles de la Tourette (born Georges Albert Edouard Brutus Gilles de la Tourette!) in 1857, made several valuable contributions to medicine and literature. His greatest achievements were in the study of hysteria and hypnotism; a competent neuropsychiatrist, he was particularly interested in therapy. With a colleague, he wrote a highly perceptive analysis of Sister Jeanne des Anges' account of her "hysterical illness" which was caused by her unrequited love for a priest.

Extractions: Mark is 10 years old, and he gets noticed a lot. The problem is, it's not for his cool skateboard or new sneakers. Mark gets second looks from people because he twitches, shrugs, jerks his shoulders, and flexes his jaw. He can stop doing these things, but not for long. "One time," Mark says, "some kid asked me why I was moving like that. Before I could answer, another kid said, 'Because he's weird.'" But Mark isn't weird. He has a condition called Tourette syndrome. What Is Tourette Syndrome? Tourette syndrome is a condition of the central nervous system that causes tics. Tics are movements or sounds that are repeated over and over. A person with Tourette syndrome has very little or no control over twitches, movements, or noises that he makes. Tourette syndrome gets its name from a French doctor named George Gilles de la Tourette, who was the first to fully describe the condition back in 1885. It is sometimes also known as Tourette's syndrome, Tourette disorder, or Gilles de la Tourette syndrome. Who Gets Tourette Syndrome?

Extractions: W elcome to Tourette Syndrome On-line (TSO) the internet home for information, support, advice and resources for Tourette's victims, their families and loved ones, counselors, teachers and medical professionals. This site was first posted in February 1998 with the goal to become the "ultimate" cyberspace library for books, literature and information on Tourette Syndrome and other disorders (i.e., ADHD, ADD and OCD) that often are associated with Tourette's. What is Tourette Syndrome? T ourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder that stikes roughly 1 in 1000 children, usually between the ages of 6 and 9, but can occur as late as 21 years of age. It is more common in boys than it is in girls, and manifests itself in the form of facial and/or body "tics." Verbal tics are much less common in occurrence, but because of the disturbance and disruption verbal tics often cause in public, they are the most common symptom the unknowing public associates with the disease. R esearch on Tourette Syndrome is ongoing but is still considered a relatively new field. A growing number of experts believe that an abnormal metabolism of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin are likely associated with the disorder. It is genetically transmitted; parents having a 50% chance of passing the gene on to their children. Girls with the gene have a 70% chance of displaying symptoms, boys with the gene have a 99% chance of displaying symptoms.

Dr Laura On Tourette Syndrome
Article disagreeing with Dr. Laura's opinion on tourette syndrome.
http://tourettenowwhat.tripod.com/DrLauraTS.htm

Extractions: (A place to meet others and post your questions about TS.) On the May 22nd "Dr Laura" show, the host, Laura Schlessinger, PhD, received a call from "Michelle," who had a dilemma because her sister wanted to exclude her own nephew with Tourette's from a family wedding celebration. Initially, Dr Laura insisted to Michelle that she should basically stay out of it "have no opinion." But, once Dr Laura heard that the child had Tourette Syndrome, she completely reversed herself and stated that Michelle had "picked the wrong sister" to support. One of her justifications was, "I'm going to come to your party and just scream, '*-you, *-you, *-you,' every five seconds and see if you want to invite me back." This insensitive response, contradictory to the "Dr Laura" show's professed family values, resulted in discussions throughout the internet and "a *lot*" of letters to the "Dr Laura" show from persons with Tourette syndrome. Her response was in direct contradiction to her first position that the caller should not take sides, and to her statements about the importance of family in weddings in the June issue of her Perspective Magazine , which said: But the fact is that it takes MORE than a ring and a date to make a marriage work.

Tourette syndrome (TS) is an inherited, neurological disorder characterized by multiple involuntary movements and uncontrollable vocalizations called tics that come and go over years. In a few cases, such tics can include inappropriate words and phrases. The disorder is named for Dr. Georges Gilles de la Tourette, the pioneering French neurologist who first described an 86-year-old French noblewoman with the condition in 1885. The symptoms of TS generally appear before the individual is 18 years old. TS can affect people of all ethnic groups; males are affected 3 to 4 times more often than females. It is estimated that 100,000 Americans have full-blown TS, and that perhaps as many as 1 in 200 show a partial expression of the disorder, such as chronic multiple tics or transient childhood tics.

Extractions: Last Revised: May 2000 Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by tics - "involuntary," rapid, sudden movements that occur repeatedly in the same way. To receive a diagnosis of TS a person must have both multiple motor and one or more vocal tics, not necessarily simultaneously, throughout a span of more than one year. The tics may occur many times a day (usually in bouts) nearly every day or intermittently. Tics periodically change in the number, frequency, type and location and wax and wane in their severity. Symptoms can sometimes disappear for weeks or months at a time. While most persons with TS have some control over their symptoms from seconds to hours at a time, suppressing them may merely postpone more severe outbursts. Tics are experienced as irresistible and (as the urge to sneeze) eventually must be expressed. Tics increase as a result of tension or stress and decrease with relaxation or concentration on an absorbing task. Other symptoms include obsessions, compulsions, impulsions, and mood lability.
Tourette Syndrome - Now What?
Information about the optimistic prognosis for those newlydiagnosed with tourette syndrome, including many personal stories, definitions, and concepts for
http://tourettenowwhat.tripod.com/

Extractions: (A place to meet others and post your questions about TS.) Welcome to my website, dedicated to families with a new diagnosis of Tourette Syndrome. Tourette's syndrome (TS) is a neurological condition which results in involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. The more common tics include things like sniffing, coughing, throat clearing, shoulder shrugging, eye blinking, and neck stretches. Many laypersons inaccurately believe that all persons with Tourette's have coprolalia - the involuntary utterances of inappropriate phrases - although the majority of persons with TS do not. Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome - sometimes called a disorder - was once believed to be very rare, but current research shows that it is not, and that the majority of cases go undiagnosed and undetected. The purpose of this website is to help families with a new diagnosis better understand and interpret literature about TS and realize that the prognosis for children diagnosed with tics is often optimistic. If youve just received a diagnosis, you may be in a panic, reading everything you can and thinking "Now What?" In the event that youre beginning to panic, I hope the many stories here will encourage you to see the brighter side. We've known about TS for about five years, and our sons are still two of the nicest, most sociable, well-liked, well-behaved, high-achieving, friendly guys around this website is to help you look beyond the doom and gloom you may find online, in support groups, and in older literature, to the optimistic prognosis that applies to most persons with Tourette's.

Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome is a widely misunderstood and under-diagnosed neurobiological condition, and sufferers can experience prejudice and ridicule. What can start as blinking and sniffing , can develop into a condition that affects every area of our lives. Recent research shows that 3% of the general school population may have tourette syndrome. 15 pupils in a school of 500 - the vast majority of which may be entirely unaware of why they have these "habits".

Tourette Syndrome
tourette syndrome is a condition of the nervous system characterized by involuntary movements and vocalizations known as tics.
http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/brain/tourette.html

Extractions: Stacy, a 36-year-old mother of four youngsters, thought she was losing her mind. At age 2, one of her daughters started making clicking sounds with her mouth. She repeated what her mother said. Every few steps, she jumped. Then there was the impulsiveness. "She would touch or do something without looking at me for approval," Stacy says. Finding Answers "I thought maybe I was crazy," Stacy says. "I went through eight doctors. They told me, 'She'll grow out of it.' I knew she wasn't in control, and I told them that. But nobody would listen to me." Finally, specialists told her the child had Tourette syndrome (TS), a condition of the nervous system. The child's repetitive behaviors were identified as tics, involuntary movements and vocalizations. Tourette syndrome also may be accompanied by attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or obsessive-compulsive disorder , as was the case with Stacy's daughter. Unfortunately, Stacy's odyssey isn't unusual. "It's common for the symptoms to be thought of as something else - a blink as a vision problem, a sniff as an allergy," says Marianne Mercugliano, MD, a developmental pediatrician.
