Tourettes is suggestible?

(Anonymous) 2018-02-08 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
My friend has pretty severe Tourettes, so lots of visible motor and vocal tics. We bingewatched S9 of Doctor Who, and now he randomly tics "TARDIS!" and "Clara!" and "I'm the Doctor!" and "Peter Ca-PALDI!" (It's how he yells the name that's funny.) He tics like this if he sees anything Doctor Who related.

I had no idea Tourettes is suggestible. Is that common?

PS My friend thinks his tics are funny and encourages people to laugh if he says random things that don't make sense. His tone of voice rises when he tics a phrase, so most people can figure out what's a tic and what's him when they get to know him.

Yeah, this seems like how it would work. Non-suggestible verbalisation would be more like random sounds than meaningful words, probably.

Sounds like echolalia.
