Only around 10% or less, of those with Tourette Syndrome, have 'uncomplicated' TS in which the only symptoms are motor or vocal tics


Many individuals have symptoms of attention deficit, hyperactivity, obsessive / compulsive behaviours and sensory processing/hypersensitivity difficulties. Speech difficulties are common and include stuttering, interrupted speech-flow, thought-blocking, vocal tics, motor tics and poor volume moderation, pronunciation or intonation. Some have hyper-diuresis (increased urine production). These are the 'hidden' or less well-known aspects of Tourette Syndrome and are often the most important issues in determining disability.
