10 Tourette's Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #2: Mimicking Movements
Studies have shown that generally mimicking a person’s movements can help in making them feel warmer toward you. That’s not to say you should copy every movement exactly, but their overall stance and gait in general.
People with Tourette’s though, are prone to mimicking any observed movement. This is considered a symptom of the disease and it is classified as a complex motor tic.
It might not be noticeable at first, but when it is noticed the behavior can appear disruptive or attention-seeking. Please note that it a symptom of a disease, as a sneeze is to the flu, and the patient might have little to no control over their movements.
