Dose a touretts kid relize what they say after something is said?

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by tics. Tics are involuntary, repetitive movements or vocalizations. They can be simple or complex. Simple tics involve a single muscle group, such as eye blinking or shoulder shrugging. Complex tics involve multiple muscle groups and can be coordinated or uncoordinated. Examples of complex tics include jumping, hopping, or repeating words or phrases.

People with TS often have difficulty controlling their tics. This can lead to social, emotional, and academic problems. However, with proper treatment, most people with TS can learn to manage their tics and live full, productive lives.

Do people with TS realize what they say after something is said?

The answer to this question depends on the individual. Some people with TS are aware of what they are saying when they have a tic, while others are not. It is also possible for someone to be aware of some of their tics but not others.

There are a few factors that can affect whether or not someone with TS is aware of what they are saying when they have a tic. These factors include:

* The type of tic. Some tics are more likely to be associated with awareness than others. For example, people with vocal tics are more likely to be aware of what they are saying than people with motor tics.

* The severity of the tic. The more severe the tic, the less likely the person is to be aware of it.

* The person's age. Children with TS are less likely to be aware of their tics than adults.

* The person's overall cognitive functioning. People with TS who have lower levels of cognitive functioning are less likely to be aware of their tics.

If you are concerned that someone you know with TS may not be aware of what they are saying when they have a tic, there are a few things you can do. First, you can talk to the person about their tics. Ask them if they are aware of what they are saying when they have a tic. If they are not aware, you can explain to them what a tic is and how it can affect their speech. You can also offer to help them find resources that can help them manage their tics.

It is important to remember that TS is a complex condition and that each person experiences it differently. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing tics. If you are concerned about someone you know with TS, the best thing you can do is to talk to them and offer your support.
