Tourette syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder which develops during childhood. It is characterized by tics (video shown) such as blinking, coughing, sniffing, or facial movements that are a somewhat suppressible response to an unwanted urge. Once considered rare, Tourette's occurs in about 1% of people under eighteen, although many go undiagnosed or never seek medical care. There is no specific test for diagnosis and Tourette's is not always correctly identified because most cases are mild. Extreme cases in adulthood are rare and Tourette's does not affect intelligence or life expectancy. Education is an integral part of any management plan for the syndrome, and explanation and reassurance are often sufficient. The cause is believed to involve unknown genetic and environmental factors. The condition was named for Georges Gilles de la Tourette, who published an account of nine patients in 1885.

- RexxS and David Levy fixed the clip, and it has been installed above. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:58, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
- Support. A worthy topic, well written, and a nice change of pace. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:47, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
- Support: it's a pity that we don't have more medical content to display on the main page, so I'd be more than happy to see this one as TFA. It certainly deserves it. --RexxS (talk) 01:18, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
- Support – I added (video shown) but it was still too short. So I used the space to fix an EASTEREGG. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 01:22, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
