I was diagnosed with mild Tourette's as a child, for facial and vocal tics, and a few random incidents of sudden swearing. My mom would tell me I didn't know I was doing these things. I always protested that I was quite aware of my tics. For me, it's like an scratching itch. Hard not to scratch it, but possible with will power. But you can't go through life constantly concentrating on this battle.
