> Tics are sudden twitches, movements, or sounds that people do repeatedly. People who have tics cannot stop their body from doing these things. For example, a person with a motor tic might keep blinking over and over, or a person with a vocal tic might make a grunting sound unwillingly.

> The tic disorders differ from each other in terms of the type of tic present (motor or vocal, or a combination of both)

If someone says they have a disorder that isn’t Tourette’s but is a bit like Tourette’s I just can’t fathom why someone with no other knowledge of the situation would be intent on somehow “proving them wrong” and establishing that it is Tourette’s.

The link you posted establishes that Tourette’s is a tic disorder. The person says they have a tic disorder that isn’t Tourette’s. I’m perfectly happy to take them at their word about that.

He claimed his is not Tourette's because his are "nonverbal", just because a tic is nonverbal doesn't magically mean it's not Tourette's.

You /assume/ I have no knowledge.
