TOURETTE SYNDROME

(based on lived experience)

​

In this story, Salem’s character has Tourette Syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder.

Tourette symptoms vary greatly from person to person and can include a range of motor and vocal tics, and co-occurring conditions. In this story, Salem’s character has motor and vocal tics, echolalia, and echopraxia.

Unfortunately, the media often portrays Tourette syndrome as a disorder that causes individuals to use obscene language (coprolalia), when only around 10% of people with Tourette syndrome have coprolalia. Salem’s character does not have coprolalia. If you’d like to learn more about Tourette Syndrome, please click the links below:
