Travis Barker's eldest son is opening up about his health on social media.
Landon Barker, the 20-year-old son of the Blink-182 drummer and model Shanna Moakler, revealed he has "very minor" Tourette syndrome in a now-deleted TikTok video.
"I actually do have very, very minor Tourette's. I've had it since I can remember like preschool. I remember it exactly because a teacher used to accuse me of rolling my eyes at her," Barker said in the video, before explaining a tic with his eyes.
The stepson of reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian Barker explained that other tics include jaw and head movement. He explained that his Tourette syndrome "acts up in nervous situations and nerve-wracking environments."
USA TODAY has reached out to Barker's reps for comment.

Barker announced his health news just weeks after sharing he and social media star Charli D'Amelio broke up after dating for over a year. In screenshots of his Instagram story obtained by Page Six and Daily Mail, Barker spoke out about the split.
"Hey everyone, I would like to let you guys know that Charli and I are no longer together. We broke up to focus on ourselves. We are still friends and have so much love for each other," he wrote. "I am incredibly grateful for the time we shared and hope you can respect our decisions. Thank you, love you all so much!"
What is Tourette syndrome?
According to Mayo Clinic, Tourette's is a disorder that includes repetitive movements or unwanted sounds, called tics, that are not controlled easily. Tics include blinking eyes, shrugging shoulders and blurting out sounds or words.
Shanna Moakler recently accused Travis Barker of 'parental alienation'
Moakler, Barker's mother, opened up about her tense co-parenting relationship with ex-husband Travis Barker during an appearance on the "Dumb Blonde" podcast earlier this month. Moakler told host Bunnie XO her child were "enamored" with the Kardashian family's fame when they criticized her parenting.
"When Travis got with Kourtney, there was some parental alienation going on there," Moakler said. "Travis — even when we weren't together — always wanted to be the super dad: 'I'm the best parent. I'm the this and that,' and I'm like, 'Bro, you win.' Like, you're the winner here. You have all the money, and you have all this."
Moakler told Bunnie XO she "removed" herself "so that (the Kardashians) couldn't bond with my children over hating me."
"Go do what you need to do and when you're ready, I will be here loving you unconditionally," Moakler said of her approach. "And I will be here as your mother, and I will wait. And that's what I did."
