| There is an increased rate of OCD in people with Tourette's syndrome, an illness characterized by involuntary movements and vocalizations. |
| Many Tourette's patients also suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder, or attention deficit disorder. |
| However, Tourette's syndrome and affective disorders more commonly co-occur with Asperger's syndrome than with autism, he adds. |
| The Maladaptive index includes symptoms of Tourette's syndrome, Posttraumatic stress disorder, toileting problems, sexualized behavior, and pica. |
| The author notes that obsessive-compulsive disorder is not the only psychiatric disorder that overlaps with Tourette's syndrome. |
| Most physicians have heard of the speech tics that can occur with Tourette's syndrome, but many other tics are more common. |
