It amazed me too.
I've no idea about the other 90%, but it would seem likely. Being that tics are physical there's always the off chance they might accidentally sign something.
A different type of condition, but there was a guy who used to live near me who had no inner monologue. He had to do a running commentary of everything he was doing and thinking. I was stood behind him in the chip shop once and was privy to the intensely difficult time he was having in deciding between fish or chicken. Then he called everyone mother fuckers when they said it would be a 5 minute wait for chips. I had to leave hungry, but full of mirth.
As amusing as it is from the outside, must be so exhausting.
