[quote=Anonymous]DS is 10+, he had tics since he was a three years old. Changing over time to motor and vocal tics.
They diminish for a period but come back sometimes stronger.

Right now he has a squeak/gasp tics that he does it 5-6 consecutively and repeats this every 30 seconds. It's very disturbing to him and he asks why is he doing this, and wants to be taken to a checkup. When he was 3 -5 years old we had a number of neurologist appointments. Which had the same outcome every time the doctor would say, do you want to start medication or wait it to outgrow. 
We had stopped going after he was 5 years.

It's very hard for DS in school, now he and his friends are conscious of the tics. When the whole class is quiet, I can't imagine how he will handle it.
Even his teachers have asked him why he was not being quiet. I tell DS to tell everyone who asks him,  that he has allergies or a dry throat issues that why he has to do it. When me are DS are alone, I ask him to do breathing exercises. 
Any other advice to control the tics would greatly help us.
