[quote=Anonymous]You need a diagnosis from a neurologist so that you can explain this to his teachers. Your child should NOT be scolded for things he cannot control. My daughter has Tourette's Syndrome and it is not the end of the world. It is much better to know and to give them a language for discussing this with other kids. It is normal to have "transient tics" which pass after a few weeks or months but when a child has had both motor tics and vocal tics for years, it is usually TS. Once again, not the end of the world! But you do need some support. My daughter is in high school and has mostly outgrown her tics. She is doing great and I never medicated her. Good luck to you. It is not easy but TS kids are amazing people.

Please stop trying to teach your child to control his tics. You are not helping him. When he is at home he should feel safe to express them. He holds them in for long enough at school. My daughter told me when she was little that it was like trying to hold your breath. Eventually you have to breathe. [/quote]
