Do people with torrets do this?

Think of one letter like I or D and repeat the letter over and over like (iiii ) I havent asked anyone yet but i seem to do this.

People with Tourettes Syndrome generally have both physical and verbal tics, which they do frequently and involuntarily. If you're consciously doing it, it's probably related to Aspergers, where tics are a symptom but a minor one and rarely as severe as those in Tourettes.

I repeat sounds over and over like you describe and I say some words and phrases without having control over it. I have recently started making spitting noises which is particularly embarrassing and difficult because my fiancé tells me to stop and doesn't accept that I can't control it. I also have some physical tics but I'm not sure if I have tourette's or not. I haven't sought a diagnosis.

You might have a few tics, but it's unlikely that it is Tourettes syndrome. Even at my mildest I usually have 10 or more different tics going off all day!

Heh, yeah, there have to be a lot of tics before you get a Tourette's diagnosis. But of course since Tourette's is simply "you have a lot of tics", it's not like a person who's just got one can't have one that's just exactly like one that someone with Tourette's has.
