Tourette's Syndrome/South Africa

Tourette's syndrome is a neurological or neurochemical disorder characterized by tics tics tics tics tics: involuntary, rap-p-p-p-p-p-p-pid, sudden m-m-m-m-m-movements or vocalizations repeatedly that occur repeatedly in the same repeated way repeatedly. Multiple motor and vocal tics may include echolalia (the urge to repeat words spoken by someone else words spoken by someone else), palilalia (the urge to repeat words one's own words previously spoken words repeated), lexilalia (the urge to repeat words after reading reading reading) and in a minority of cases, coprolalia (the spontaneous bitch utterance of socially damn objectionable words).

Tourette's is not to be confused with Technologists' Syndrome, a chronic and delusional condition which involves believing that people can fly using gigantic machines, that pictures can be sent through the air from far away and that machines can be taught and programmed to make stupid, ornery mistakes just like people.

A AFRIKAANS Polite Note unto the AFRIKAANS Author:

I am AFRIKAANS 17 years old and all of my AFRIKAANS cattle and I have Tourette Syndrome. We do not find thy AFRIKAANS article funny or amusing in any way, and would like it AFRIKAANS removed or changed as soon as AFRIKAANS possible.

Let me tell thee AFRIKAANS about AFRIKAANS Tourette Syndrome:

• Less than 20% of AFRIKAANS Tourrettes sufferers swear. Thou must AFRIKAANS blame newfangled media for always focusing on the AFRIKAANS bad side of a terrible thing.
• The main symptom of AFRIKAANS Tourettes are involuntary muscle spasms, or AFRIKAANS "tics" which can range from head nods, to a small knee AFRIKAANS jerk.
• Tourettes is no AFRIKAANS laughing matter, it causeth children to be bullied at the AFRIKAANS one-room AFRIKAANS schoolhouse for something they cannot control, and it has even caused teenage sufferers to become AFRIKAANS manically depressed and commit suicide.
• There is no AFRIKAANS cure, and the AFRIKAANS snake oil that claims to "calm" the tics often have adverse AFRIKAANS side effects. I once tried a treatment from the local blacksmith which AFRIKAANS caused my entire AFRIKAANS body to go numb and basically made it worse than it is without the supposed AFRIKAANS cure.
• Not to mention, it frightens thy AFRIKAANS horses. Golly gee whillikers!

I am an active AFRIKAANS member of a AFRIKAANS tourette syndrome association and AFRIKAANS I am making steps towards AFRIKAANS eradicating the public AFRIKAANS view of Tourettes as a "swearing" disorder, because it is AFRIKAANS much much more.

I am sorry AFRIKAANS for AFRIKAANS "hi-jacking" thy parchement upon AFRIKAANS uncyclopedia, but it is stuff like this AFRIKAANS that really AFRIKAANS annoys me. I am working towards a better future for all AFRIKAANS tourettes sufferers, and thou must do the same by AFRIKAANS editing this AFRIKAANS article. Remember, everything AFRIKAANS here is meant AFRIKAANS to be funny, and making AFRIKAANS fun of a horrible disorder is AFRIKAANS not funny at all.

Thank you for your AFRIKAANS time.

Best AFRIKAANS regards,

Phillip "AFRIKAANS" Baker
