Question for those with coprolalia

Do you feel the need to say the curse word before you say it? My daughter has Tourette’s but I think she now has coprolalia, but she told me she feels she needs to say it and then will go to her room or somewhere and say it. (I have told her since then that going to her room isn’t necessary). She said she thinks it’s her tics making her do it.

“Visions”

Hi! My daughter is 7 years old and has Tourette’s. She’s been in a calm period for months. But now they are pretty amped up and she said she’s having “visions”
Like she just got a drink and she said she’s having visions to spill it on the floor. Does anyone else have that or maybe a clue what she’s talking about?

Also now and in the past at night she says she sees someone crawling on the floor but I think she’s just her being scared. (She’s does do therapy and sees neurologist)
But the drink thing is new.

How many of you have siblings with Tourette’s? I have 4 kids, my 7 year old daughter who was diagnosed last year and now my 10 year old is having tics constantly. Constantly head tilting and making a humming noise. I don’t think he’s faking, because it seems to be alllllll the time. Even when he’s out in the pool. I’m just curious what the odds are for him to start having tics only a year after his sister is diagnosed.
