Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (Tourette Syndrome or TS) is
a neurological disorder which becomes evident in early
childhood or adolescence between the ages of 2 and 15.
Tourette syndrome is defined by multiple motor and vocal
tics lasting for more than one year. Males are affected
3 to 4 times more often than females. A goal of TSA is to
educate both patients and the public of the many facets of
tic disorders. Increased public understanding and tolerance
of TS symptoms are of paramount importance to people with
Tourette Syndrome. The official estimate by the
National Institutes of Health is that 100,000 Americans
have full-blown TS. Coprolalia (uttering obscenities)
occurs in only 15% of TS cases.
