Keith and Tourettes

[Johanna Johnson]

I don't remember this ever being discussed.
   
  I can pick out stuff that Keith did in videos, particulary his body movements, that makes me think the dear boy probably could have suffered with Tourettes Syndrome.
   
  Of course, that wasn't a common diagnosis back in the day, but it is actually more common then people believe.  It often goes along with ailments such as ADHD, bi-polar disorder, OCD etc.
   
  I am not talking about the stereo typical case of Tourettes where the sufferer blurts out curse words.  It would be a bit more subtle, motor tics, especially facial and upper body tics.  Verbal tics too, but again, more subtle then what you see on the talk shows.
   
  My oldest son,  is a gifted basketball player, gifted like Keith was at the drums, and I love, love, LOVE to watch him on the court, like I love to watch Keith play the drums.  Some of the similarities are so obvious to me and my son has Tourettes.  He is so animated when he plays, just like Keith was at the drums.
   
  I just wonder...
