Tourettes syndrome (turrets syndrome) is generally known as a condition which makes sufferers swear and shout uncontrollably as well as make involuntary movements.
A documentary to be shown on BBC 1 on Thursday May 28th at 9pm, entitled "Tourettes, I Swear I Can't Help It" will look at two people with Tourettes, featured in a 2002 documentary, and show how they are continuing to deal with the condition. For more information:

In the US, a nine year old has turned his tourettes to positive use, entering a whistling competition – whistling being one of his “tics”, resulting in his practising for hours a day.
