You… you aren’t trying to imply Tourette Syndrome, right? Because that’s not how Tourette’s works, like, at all. I would know, because I have it.
In reality, we have a set of “tics”, which are just small noises or motions we make uncontrollably. Of course, for some people it’s more severe, but the worst I’ve ever heard about is that some people may yell out swear words as one of their tics. But In no circumstance would it ever cause someone to type out and post “I’m a nazi” or “I love hitler”.
My late son had Tourette syndrome as well. Normally he had his physical and small verbal tics, but he also would get the bad word tics, I think it is called Coprolalia. But he literally never tweeted the stuff.
I’m so sorry for your loss, I can’t imagine going through something like that.
