	Clinomorphism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clinomorphism (from the Greek words klinikos meaning "bed" and morphos meaning "form") is the deliberate or unintentional simplification, alteration, or amplification of the term for a medical condition (usually for dramatic effect), often in the form of a caricature to which sufferers of (or care providers for those with) the condition often vehemently object.
		Tourette's syndrome is typically clinomorphically depicted as being a condition where the sufferer is prone to involuntary (and often unconscious) outbursts of offensive language or behaviour, usually on account of being unable to repress (or unaware that they are articulating) their spontaneous responses to others.
		Clinomorphism is in fact often both a contributory factor in as well as being the result of the mythology and 'popular misconception' of many medical conditions.

	Clinomorphism - Art History Online Reference and Guide
		Clinomorphism (from the Greek term 'klinikos' meaning bed and 'morphos' meaning form) is the deliberate or unintentional simplification, alteration or amplification of the term for a medical condition (usually for dramatic effect) often in the form of a caricature to which sufferers of (or carers for those with) the condition often vehemently object.
		Schizophrenia is clinomorphically simplified or caricatured as being a ‘split personality’, where the sufferer is depicted as having two different sets of behavioural mannerisms, between which they alternate unconsciously.
		In fact Tourette's syndrome does indeed have an incidence of a 'sub-syndrome' involving 'involuntary offensive speech' which is termed coprolalia (literally 'offensive babbling') and is sometimes clinomorphised into the term 'complusive swearing' or 'compulsive profanity', terms which have 'clinomorphic currency' outside the use of the term 'Tourette's'.

	Autism - Art Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		This article, many professionals assert, is just one example of the media's application of mental disease labels to what is actually variant normal behavior—they argue that shyness, lack of athletic ability or social skills, and intellectual interests, even when they seem unusual to others, are not in themselves signs of autism or Asperger's syndrome.
		See clinomorphism for further discussion of this issue.
		Due to the recent publicity surrounding autism and autistic spectrum disorders, an increasing number of independent adults are choosing to seek diagnoses of high-functioning autism or Asperger's syndrome in light of symptoms they currently experience or experienced during childhood.

		The entertainment industry has often depicted those with TS as being social misfits whose only tic is coprolalia (the involuntary utterance of inappropriate or taboo phrases), which has led to the general public's misunderstanding of persons with Tourette's as "people who can't help yelling swear words a lot".
		However, this is merely a clinomorphism, as coprolalia is a relatively rare symptom compared to other types of tics, and severe Tourette's in adulthood is rare.
		Phil, have furthered this stigmatization, focusing on rare and sensational aspects of the condition.
