OTB game against person with Tourette Syndrome

A purely hypothetical question:

You participate in a relatively big chess open tournament (90 participants+); swiss system pairing, 9 rounds. In this tournament there also is a player who obviously suffers from Tourette syndrome including coprolalia and nervous tics.

You have found him to be a nuisance and very detrimental to your concentration, whenever you have been seated in his vicinity. Just as your luck would have it, in round 8 you get paired against him.

You do not want to lose the game by non-appearance, because you still have a decent chance for a category price and besides you've paid the entrance fee and accommodation and so you want to play your full nine rounds.

So far nobody has complained about this guy, and you don't want to be the first to do so. After all we live in an age of political correctness and anything you say or do would make you unpopular with the leftists who now control our society.

How will you deal with this situation?

PS: This is based on a true experience. I once played in a 9-round swiss where one player seemed to be suffering from symptoms as described above, though quite possible it may have been something other than Tourette syndrome. He was constantly murmuring, even loudly talking to himself in an aggressive tone and had tics. Fortunately I did not have to play against him, but for two rounds I was seated in his relative vicinity and had problems concentrating on my games. I was astonished that he was allowed to participate in a serious tournament (B-group, <2000 Elo) and that nobody said anything about it.

I am not against integrating handicapped, mentally challenged and other "special needs" persons into society as far as reasonably possible. But there certainly has to be drawn a line where this integration conflicts with the interests of many other people. Should 90 tournament players be forced to put up with this nuisance just so one person is not excluded from the tournament?

What are your thoughts about this situation?
OTB chess has a serious problem. There are numerous ways an opponent can distract you and everyone else. I will never pay OTB again. Why bother with it when we have this wonderful place.

"Should 90 tournament players be forced to put up with this nuisance just so one person is not excluded from the tournament?"

No. People should complain. The tournament director should do the right thing and politely ask the unfortunate person to leave.
Maybe no-one else said anything because they found it a very minor distraction, and were able to ignore it, rather than because of 'political correctness'?

You might be like me and find it very, very hard to concentrate when there are distractions going on. I guess if we are in the minority we are the ones with special needs?
Its a sensitive situation
Well there have to be some regulations by fide on this matter(never actually read them) so if he is crossing the line its the arbiters' duty to clarify* to him the rules, and if he doesnt accommodate there should be some punishment.
Now Im repeating, in case he crosses the lines put by fide regulations you have every right not only to complain but to demand for the rules to be applied
One small obvservation though, if you get distracted easily by these things it might mean that you dont concentrate deep enough. I mean when I am concentrated in my games even if a train was passing next to me and the earth was shaking and making loud noises and all of that, there is a chance that I wouldnt even notice it:)
Although to be fair everyone is different and silence in the chesshall is a thing that has always been and should be respected
The leftists that control society? What universe do you live in? Here in America, Earth, the right wing controls all 3 branches of federal government (and most governorships and state legislatures), multi-national corporations control the media, and the rich and said corporations and their lobbyists can make unlimited donations to politicians. But I guess liberal ideological dominance in arts and culture is where the real power lies, huh.
Good answers so far!

Well, I for one love OTB chess and can't bring myself to give up on it. Online chess is fine too, but it does not give me the same feeling of excitement and adrenaline. Online chess is more like a gym for me. A place where I go for exercise and training to improve myself so I can perform better when I play "real" chess (=OTB).

As for other people not being distracted by this player; well, to be fair it was only a problem for myself when I was seated in his vicinity, so it very likely did not bother people so much who where sitting farther away. I did see some people give him funny looks though and people whispering to each other outside the tournament hall.

Usually my concentration during games is quite good. At home I often listen to music while playing or studying chess. It was not so much the noise per se that was bothering me. I guess it was the aggression in his tone. To be honest I found that somewhat scary. At one point he was slapping at his own face once or twice. Not super-hard, but still.... it's not something I feel comfortable with.

@darken: Here in central Europe the situation is quite a bit different...
FIDE laws of Chess:

12.6
It is forbidden to distract or annoy the opponent in any manner whatsoever.

That should cover it, without having to bother about PC. I doubt that people suffering from uncontrolled spasticity are allowed to take part in shooting or archery competitions either; it's just not part of the game.
All I hear and see is "I" and "FIDE rules"and "my score".

In my opinion everyone should switch two gears lower when encountering handicapped people. Of course it is a handicap (nuisance!?) to play against handicapped people, so what?
I played against spastic paralysed (?) people and it worked without calling the arbiter. I tried to help these poor guys not thinking of my score and the outcome. They had more problems than I had, they had one opponent more: their body. And if I recognize this as a handicap I try to overlook it.

Everything is possible if everyone is considerate: to play in a corner or a separate room, to have a helper, to get extra time for the opponent. If there's a will nothing serious happens, just a match.

Guys, if you refer to rules, go to section for playing with handicapped people! Maybe this part is more appropriate.
I propose a solution. Become a phenomenal chess player that way you go to invite-only chess tournaments where these individuals with special needs won't be (most likely) due to their low ratings. . .

So, just become a grandmaster.
