Conversational Challenges

Getting 'reciprocity' right, during conversation, can often pose a challenge for individuals with Tourette Syndrome. Many are poor turn-takers and often miss conversational cues. There are also difficulties for some in knowing how to end a particular conversation or topic without offending or appearing abrupt. For some, the fine line between what may or may not be considered acceptable in terms of conversational topics or word use, presents particular difficulties.
