“Toureette’s Syndrome is a neurology problem”.

“Please show tolerance and compassion to 

people with that Syndrome----Reader’s Digest July 2004.

Symptoms: ….Sniffing or throat clearing, and the tics may include frequent blinking, eye rolling, head, neck and shoulder jerks, or a clenched muscle, twitching in the mirror….gesturing, humming, clicking noises, swearing and other involuntary physical movements………….”

But people with this syndrome are highly energetic, creative and can memorize any subject which they wish to.

A little cooperation, a little sympathy, a little understanding can make their lives comfortable and they can also contribute in the building of a healthy society.

Please don't make fun out of these people nor mislead them, for they easily fall prey to tricksters who are expert in trapping people by showing a false sense of sympathy and respect.
