A WORD ABOUT SPELLING
The official name of the condition, according to the DSM-IV-TR, is Tourette's
disorder.
Tourette's is also referred to as TS, Tourette Syndrome, Tourette's syndrome,
GTS, and Gilles de la Tourette's Syndrome.
You may also see it referred to as the Tourette Syndrome Spectrum Disorder,
but many proponents of this terminology include conditions in this alleged
spectrum
which have not been shown to be part of or genetically linked to Tourette's
syndrome.
Common misspellings are tourettes syndrome, tourretts, tourrettes, touretts,
terrets, terets, turettes, and turrets syndrom.
Tourette's disease is another common misnomer (it's not a disease).
Another common misspelling is ticks: ticks are nasty beasts that bite dogs and
people. People with Tourette's disorder have tics.
