Tics and Tourette’s syndrome: Involuntary
sounds and movements
Everyone demonstrates a few behaviors from time to time that can look a lot
like tics. For example, who hasn’t drummed fingers, tapped a pencil, or expe-
rienced a sudden body jerk? However, those behaviors don’t quite qualify as
tics. That’s because tic disorder involves movements or sounds that occur
against a person’s will, suddenly, repeatedly, and irresistibly. Tourette’s
syndrome includes multiple movements with sounds.
drum fingers是什么意思?tapped a pencil是不是削铅笔(猜的),那tap在这里取何意,金山词霸里查到的意思好像都不太符合。
