Awakenings and Tourette Syndrome

…

…with Tourette's syndrome, it is recommended that you think of him/her as if he/she has a bad stutter. Simply wait for the tics to resolve, then continue conversation in a normal way. Just ignore the expletives or activity and converse as you normally would. If it's intended as an insult, it will continue as a well-structured insult. Complex tics usually don't have that much structure and sound more like someone venting in frustration.
