[quote=Anonymous]It could be a vocal tic. With kids who have a comolex set of things going on, it can be difficult to draw clear lines between what behaviors are tics, what are stims/stereotypies, and what are OCD-style compulsions. The only real reason to distinguish is because different strategies might be better for addressing each. Good luck! Try to keep in mind that whatever is going on, it's not happening just to annoy you or to be defiant. When something seems like he "should" be able to stop, it can be hard to keep that perspective.
