On the Lookout Tourette de Force A documentary called `Twitch and Shout' demystifies an unusual nervous condition
1994
Overview
Now, after years of medication, [Lowell Handler] is the narrator of a documentary about TS called \"Twitch and Shout,\" produced and directed by Laurel Chiten, another Touretter. As the title suggests, people with TS frequently have a well developed sense of humor about their condition. Neurologist Oliver Sacks, author of \"The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat,\" wrote a piece about Handler and other Touretters for Life magazine in 1988 - Handler took the photos - in which Sacks marveled at their \"odd, elfin humor, antic imitations and outlandish kinds of play.\" Like most Touretters, Handler finds that his symptoms decrease the more he concentrates. This explains why Handler rarely twitches when he has a camera in his hands. Or why the Denver Nuggets' Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (formerly Chris Jackson), who has acknowledged his condition, is one of the top free-throw shooters in the NBA.
