One thing that no one touched on in their responses to you is that the involuntary swearing is actually a very uncommon part of tourrettes, it just gets the most publicity because it's quite morbidly interesting. Involuntary cussing is specifically known as 'coprolalia.'

thesupervillian (10/16/2015) [-] As said, it's a magical mental problem that people get. There was a documentary I saw once that was on people with it. One person couldn't stop themselves from yelling bomb whenever they were at an airport. Another couldn't help but scream ****** whenever they saw a black person. It really sucks because they can't help themselves, it just falls outta their mouths like word diarrhea.

depending on the person/case it's can be a mental syndrome, hormone imbalance, brain damaged, misfiring brain stuffs or insanity (in extreme cases) and depending on the root cause the tourettes can be verbal, physical or mental (a few hundred cases of reported ADHD have been rediagnosed to mental tourrettes)

I have a follow up question, that I am curious about.
I know that kids (or people in general) hear swear words one way or another.
But in theory, could you teach people with tourette that positive words were swear words, and they would burst them out instead?
I know that would turn their whole vocabulary upside down, but is it possible?
Probaly a very stupid question, with a straight forward answer. But I am curious, nontheless.

yunch (10/15/2015) [-] I'm legitimately curious...if you don't teach a person with tourette syndrome curse words, would they be exclaiming casual words like 'Pizza' or 'Good morning'?

phenominaljard (10/15/2015) [-] Yes, well they would actually probably make animal sounds instead.
Very few people with Tourette's syndrome have Coprolalia (the name for when their tic involves cursing).
Most individuals with Tourette's have tics that are hardly even noticable like coughing, rapid eye blinking, and shoulder movements.
Also, most patients have tics only occasionally - not all the time.
So, this kid probably didn't take his medication for whatever reason and was having a bad fit OR he has severe Tourette's Syndrome and this was a bad fit for him - even when on meds.

imashitbricks (10/16/2015) [-] **** . You just described me. Do I have ******* Tourettes? When I was younger I used to always make this noise in my throat, kind of like an "mmf" and couldn't really help it. It's gone away as I've gotten older but now I occasionally have days were I need to blink all the time, like really hard, like squeezing my eyes shut. I've also started to notice I blow out of my nose a lot. I mean, I don't think I have Tourettes but, what you described I sometimes do

penileburglar (10/15/2015) [-] This is one of the saddest conditions to watch for me. Because they're not (necessarily) in any way mentally deficient... While some of them do, many of them don't actually have any learning disabilities or other such mental disorders.
Maybe it's a little ****** up, but I have an easier time watching people with, say, downs. They're, for lack of a politically correct way to say it, usually too dumb to know how dumb they really are. But this guy could be as smart as you or me, and yet he's cursed to be a social outcast. He's able to fully comprehend just how ******* unfair life is to him. Good on him for being able to have a sense of humor about it, though.

oxidoferroso (10/15/2015) [-] They are usually on meds and it's usallly pretty controlled. The dude in the video has an extreme case or he didn't take his meds for whatever reason
#44 to #27

penileburglar (10/16/2015) [-] Yeah, I know it's often much more controlled than this. But I have a cousin who does have a very extreme case that's not responding well to meds, and the ******** actually really smart. Doing an AP Calculus course at age 13 kind of smart. But he's got very few friends and people that meet him often treat him and talk to him as if he's retarded, not realizing that his condition is (in his case) purely a physical and verbal tic, not a mental impairment.

this is funny not because every few seconds he curses, but that every time it happens you can almost see a small portion of him die on the inside.

vissova (10/16/2015) [-] I just can't laugh at this. It makes me sad. I can't imagine what it must be like to live your entire life with these kinds of issues. He seems to be happy, at least.

epicCUBONE (10/16/2015) [-] why do people with tourettes always say bad words and not "egg," for example?

teevee (10/17/2015) [-] >>#69, >>#79, it's hard to explain, but it isn't like some random memory or mental connection just fires suddenly. it's almost like a really quick feeling of "frustration", i guess.
relative to this guy, it's very mild for me, but the occasional under-the-breath vocal tic like this happens. most tics are physical or vocal in the way of sounds like this guy does, but idk if its some "background thoughts" or really rapid in-the-moment frustration with the tics, or something else showing through to make obscene vocal tics happen.

teevee (10/17/2015) [-] i have this kind of stuff involving tics, but nothing this bad thank god. I really feel for this guy, because even with just a few muscular and verbal tics kids in elementary/middle school were pretty relentless with teasing, name calling, etc. i can't imagine what it's like for him.
