Have you ever spent time with someone who has it? If you did, and you saw how painful and embarrassing it is for the child, I think maybe you would see it differently. My friend taught a young girl in 5th grade who would say the most foul things. Often she was not aware of what exactly she said but would feel awful based on the reaction of the class. They put her on meds that made her a zombie. Over time her class learned not to react and they weaned her off the meds so she could go back to being her usual although often inappropriate self. It can be a really sad situation.
