Yep, it's tourrette's. I'm sure he hates that he has it. I mean, imagine how embarrassing? My brother has it really bad, and he is terribly ashamed, even though he can't help it. Most teens are worried about a zit on their face. How much worse is it to have Tourrette's? So I hope that you give him a break & don't make fun of him or treat him overly nice, either. He's just a guy. Lots of times it gets better as a person ages (in my brother's case, it did go away, then he took bipolar meds and it came back much worse than it ever was before.)

Tourette syndrome is what he probably has.
