This young boy I spoke of above with Tourettes is about the same age as Burke Ramsey is now, and this young boy hated his younger sister, and was very jealous of her, and could be violent with her at certain times. He had to be watched with an eagle eye. He is also very intelligent and he retreated to his computer, playing games etc., I see a similarity in the symptoms of Asperger's, Sue.

Thank you for your reply, Sue. I didn't want to distract you from the present discussion. As for the trainer for Burke. More than likely, Burke had to be perfect; hence the reason for all the dancing sessions and God knows what else, for JonBenÃ©t to become Miss America.

I think if Burke had Tourettes, there would be more about it. In my experience, people with Tourettes sort of "stick out" compared to other people. Other kids notice them making noises and their behavior is considered unusual by other people in the classroom.
Kids with things like Aspergers, Attention Deficit or other similar conditions are usually not that noticeable. Sometimes those kids are just thought to be shy or geeks (if anyone even notices any differences).

Yes, Sue. I thought the same. Tourettes is something which can't be hidden, but Burke's behaviour at that particular time made me wonder (?).
