I have Tourette's myself, and it typically starts -- as it did with me -- between the ages of 5 and 7. It's more common in boys (though I am not a boy)!
I recently wrote an article on transient tics for Redbook. These are Tourette's-like tics that kids get that go away after a few weeks to a few months. I don't know if adults can also develop transient tics, but it's worth asking your doctor. Tics can also be brought on by stress, so seeing a therapist to learn some destressing techniques may work.
