I never had to deal with tourette's, but I did have an autisic player once in a Special Olympics game.
The kid had always only played a few minutes in every game and the coach had always started him.
The coach forgot to start him and in the second half, the boy got upset because he could not understand why the board did not say 00 to 00. It became very obvious the player was not going to be able to handle the score being on the board.
We got the coaches together and we cleared the score off the board, so it would be 00 to 00, and kept the score in the book, until the player got his couple of minutes in.
The TS player's coach would need to have a doctor's note, that said exactly what the usual behavior of the player would be.
