[quote=Anonymous]Both my children also have mild Tourette’s. My DD has primarily motor tics and my DS mostly verbal. They are twins and they started around age 6. We did a round of CBIT therapy during COVID but it didnt seem to make much difference. They both seem to control them enough at school that it doesn’t impact them socially. I notice that the tics increase a lot right when they get home from school and are relaxing- it’s as if all the pent up tics come out once they’re home and in a safe space. My sons tics are definitely decreasing in number since he turned 13. My daughters don’t seem to be waning as much. The link to viral infections is interesting- I have read about a possible connection between strep bacteria and tics as well but I don’t notice a difference in tics before and after antibiotics they’ve taken for other illnesses.
