The three statements that should be included in an accurate summary of Tourette Syndrome (TS) are:
A. There is some treatment and medicine but no cure that works for everyone with TS.
B. People with TS have verbal or motor tics that they cannot control.
D. Some people cannot control blurting out inappropriate words.
Explanation:
– Statement A highlights the current understanding that while treatments exist, they are not universally effective, which is important in discussions about TS.
– Statement B accurately describes the core symptom of TS, which is the presence of uncontrollable tics, both verbal and motor.
– Statement D refers specifically to a common symptom of TS called coprolalia, where individuals may involuntarily say inappropriate words or phrases.
Statement C is too broad and not specific to TS, and statement E overgeneralizes the age aspect of the condition.
