Keith and Tourettes

[Johanna Johnson]

Interesting, I didn't know that.  I do know that Tourette's changes, one tic will change into another.  It is very often coupled with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
   
  I have always wondered if Keith were to be alive today, and examined by a specialist, what they might of come up with.  I think it has been said that he was probably autistic if nothing else.
   
  In my son's drs. office, they have pictures of famous people who suffered from different mental illnesses.  I'd love to discreetly tack up a pic of Keith.  I may just do that. ;)

Another well known celebrity that is diagnosed with Tourettes is Dan Ackroyd 
(co-founder of the House of Blues). I heard an interview where he said he 
outgrew most of the tics, but that it resulted in an obsessive personality.
