Tourette
Syndrome is one type of Tic Disorder. Tics are involuntary, repetitive
movements and vocalizations. They are the defining feature of a group of
childhood-onset, neurodevelopmental conditions known collectively as
Tic Disorders and individually as Tourette Syndrome, Chronic Tic
Disorder (Motor or Vocal Type), and Provisional Tic Disorder. The three
Tic Disorders are distinguished by the types of tics present (motor,
vocal/ phonic, or both) and by the length of time that the tics have
been present.
Individuals with Tourette Syndrome (TS) have had at least two motor tics and at least one vocal/ phonic tic in some combination over the course of more than a year. By contrast, individuals with Chronic Tic Disorder have either motor tics or vocal tics that have been present for more than a year, and individuals with Provisional Tic Disorder have tics that have been present for less than a year.
