Why do people that have tourette's always cuss?

Question

Some people or i think majority? of them always say bad words and other ****? why not like "God Bless you" or other "good" things?

Is that what they always say when they're having ticks? always say bad words?

Answer 1

Thats just a misconception, depending on the source less that 15% of Tourette's sufferers actually cuss as one of their tics.  

Answer 2

I think its like, in their head their like "don't say that word don't say that word.." and then they say it. i would think  it would be sort of like if you tell a little kid not to touch a certain object, they will. just because you told them not to. maybe?

Answer 3

The majority don't.

No, I have tourette's and I never said a bad word. I just made humming noises and talked funny. I am currently taking Risperdal for my tourette's.

Only 2 percent of us do.  

Answer 7
