A word about spelling
The official name of the condition, according
to the DSM-IV-TR, 307.23, 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.
Common misspellings are tourettes syndrome, tourretts, tourrettes, touretts,
terrets, terets, turettes, turetts, turets, turetes and turrets syndrom.
Tourette's disease is a common misnomer (it's not a disease).
Tick is a common misspelling: ticks are nasty critters that suck blood
from dogs and people. People with Tourette's disorder have tics.
