Landon Barker Reveals His Diagnosis of Tourette Syndrome
Landon Barker is opening up to fans about himself.
The 20-year-old disclosed that he has Tourette syndrome after being asked about it on social media.
“Hi guys!” Landon said in a video recently reposted on TikTok. “I figured I’d speak on this eventually. But yeah, I actually do have very, very minor Tourette’s.”
According to Cedars Sinai, “Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder that causes people to make unintended sounds, words and body movements, called tics.” Landon recalled that he first noticed the condition when he was a child.
“I’ve had it since I can remember, like preschool,” Travis Barker‘s eldest son continued. “I remember exactly ’cause a teacher used to accuse me of rolling my eyes at her. Because one of tics was like that. It was like a weird thing I do with my eyes.”
Landon shared that some of his “more common” tics now include head jerking or certain jaw movements.
“Yeah, it really just acts up in nervous situations and nerve-racking environments for me,” he added. “But I thought I’d just share because why not?”
