Landon continued to speak candidly about being diagnosed as a young child.

He explained: ‘I’ve had it since I can remember, like in preschool.

I remember it exactly because a teacher used to accuse me of rolling my eyes at her. Because one of the tics was like that. It was like something strange I do with my eyes.’

The son of Travis and actress and model Shanna Moakler, 48, spoke about when symptoms are noticed.

He said: ‘Yes, it really works poorly in nervous situations and stressful environments for me.

‘But I thought I’d share it because why not?’

Barker posted a statement on Instagram on Tuesday, February 6, confirming the breakup.

WHAT IS TOURETTE SYNDROME?

Tourette syndrome is a neurological condition characterized by a combination of noises and involuntary movements called tics.

It usually begins during childhood and continues into adulthood. Tics can be vocal or physical.

In many cases, Tourette syndrome is hereditary and is often associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Tourette syndrome is named after the French physician Georges Gilles de la Tourette, who first described the syndrome and its symptoms in the 19th century.

There is no cure for Tourette syndrome, but treatment can help control symptoms.
