This is the title of a new article over at www.latitudes.org Unfortunately you need to be a member (i.e. pay) to view it. There is not much info given about Tourette syndrome but they report that "20-30% of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder may be infected with Lyme Borreliosis.."

A few parents and doctors have founded the Lyme Induced Autism Foundation to research this issue:

www.lymeinducedautism.com

Their website has a lot of great links, plus info about next year's conference.

The Lyme Tymes also published a few articles about this recently.
