In this April 2010 episode of the Stuff You Should Know podcast, hosts Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant discuss Tourette Syndrome, an often misunderstood condition characterized by vocal and motor tics.

Tourette Syndrome is a neurological condition that causes involuntary tics, which can include whistling, swearing, grunting, grimacing, or making sudden movements.

Tourette's is more common in boys than in girls, typically beginning around age seven. Often, symptoms taper off after their peak around age 12, but some people have symptoms into adulthood.

Stuff You Should Know is hosted by Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant. In this April 2010 episode, the pair explains what causes Tourette's, what the condition looks like, and how it is diagnosed and managed.
