Tourettes question.....

[aphex]

There was this nice lady this afternoon who worked the Deli at Publix... Now, i've seen people with tourettes before, but never quite like this....

Every movement she made, her face would over exaggerate it. She obviously had no control over it, but is this a form of tourettes?

For instance, when she sliced the turkey, she was making this face like it was the hardest thing she's ever done in her life, squinting her eyes, and face as she moved the slicer back and forth.....

Nope, it could be a form of TICs.

How are tics classified?

There are two categories of tics: simple and complex. Simple tics are
sudden, brief movements that involve a limited number of muscle groups.
They occur in a single or isolated fashion and are often repetitive. Some
of the more common examples of simple tics include eye blinking, shoulder
shrugging, facial grimacing, head jerking, yelping, and sniffing. Complex
tics are distinct, coordinated patterns of successive movements involving
several muscle groups. Complex tics might include jumping, smelling
objects, touching the nose, touching other people, coprolalia, echolalia,
or self-harming behaviors.
