Tourette Syndrome and Intellectual Ability: Understanding the Connection

No, Tourette Syndrome (TS) is not a mental handicap. TS is a neurodevelopmental condition that is characterised by tics. Tics are involuntary, repetitive movements or vocalisations. TS is not associated with mental handicap. People with TS have normal intelligence and are able to learn and understand things just like anyone else.
