The person below has said that she feels her child has Tourettes. Many people self diagnose themselves thesedays and I feel it is an excuse or coverup for inexcusable behavior. If a child is misbehaving then that child must have ADHD, if a child is swearing then that child must have tourettes. Why can't parents take responsibility for their children, take them in hand and sort them out. Tourettes indeed!

Oh Fran, this isnt Wardy, not his style in the slightest! read all the posts and then tell me its wardy!

[Pippa68]

Nope..definately not Wardy. The posts aren't long enough for a start ~ and not nearly enough typos ;o)

[unruliejulie]

There is a huge amount of info on Tourett's on http:/www.answers.com/topic/mentalillness.....use search for tourett's. The first recorded case was in 1825-a French noblewoman.A series of cases were observed later in the century by a doctor-Gilles de la Tourette-hence the name. It can be found in any country or at any level of society.It would seem there are a lot of VERY sophisticated kids out there mimicking this condition!!

Very true pastafreak..however alfayeds-spy isn't interested in scientific facts, just their own opinion.

14:13 I may be wrong again, I often am, but I only left school 18 years ago. All these syndromes you hear about today simply didn't exist when I was at school, yet were "discovered" many years ago.

Tourettes, Autism, Aspbergers (Sp), ADHD, Cognitive Behavioural Deficit, blah blah blah.

The only thing that made kids odd was the revelation that certain "E" numbers, especially in KiaOra and what not.

I recall the movie Rainman was in fact the platform for such symptoms to come to light.

I doubt the whole psychiatric world and need for parents to label their wayward kids with something scientific. Some kids are just bad, some good, some mad and some just sad.

That is how it was not that long ago.
