And I think mimicking is a form of echo phenomena.
But what was really interesting is we have a clinic in our NHS service, the Neurodivergent Brain Body Clinic.
And most of the people in that clinic have an autism or an ADHD diagnosis or both.

they actually had significant features of tics and Tourette's and that the features of tics and Tourette's predicted emotional regulation problems more than the ADHD or autism features.
But yes, the other interesting thing about Tourette's is that there is, there's this, people often, you know, they think about it as swearing, but there's this really interesting phenomenon.

I used to experience it in chemistry lessons where you would see a beaker of acid.
