Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder that causes unwanted movements and sounds to be made by the individual these are called tics.


Tics can be classified as simple or complex and are divided into vocal and motor. An example would be a simple vocal tic would be grunting but a complex vocal tic would be saying the word hi. a simple motor tic could be something like forcefully blinking but a complex one could be flinging your arm out. Now Tourette's is not the only tic disorder out there but it is definitely wont of the best known ones.
