If Tourette’s involves a compulsion to say socially inappropriate things, what happens if those things don’t turn out to be socially inappropriate? Does the compulsion switch to something else? Does it fade?
That’s not what tourettes is actually. It can take a number of forms.
I went on a date with a guy that had it and he just frequently vocalized small grunts. I have to admit it was a little uncomfortable at first but I got used to it while we watched a movie in bed. I didn’t meet him again though, because the sex was very bad, but I think that’s unrelated to tourettes.
I think it goes to something else. The (relatively uncommon) compulsion is caused by an issue with the part of your brain that inhabits those thoughts that you don’t normally even notice.
So it’s like the brain occasionally hits the gas pedal when aiming for the break.
It’s part of what makes it so distressing for people who have it, since it tends towards the things they don’t want to say.

Maybe his timing was thrown out because some of them were tic
ks.In which case it’s lucky they didn’t catch Lyme disease from him.
