[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience, schools are more understanding when you are addressing the problem and trying to fix it. Are you trying to address the tic or are you ignoring it? [/quote]

Idiotic question. Why would a private school parent spending 60K/year ignore the health problem of their child?[/quote]

You seem like you are new here. As a veteran of the special needs board, plenty of parents 'ignore health problems' or think they know better than a doctor or BTDT parents. It is a valid question and I think it is the more important question than can my kid be forced into medical leave.

Sudden tics aren't a straightforward medical problem. OP should be looking into PANDAs and I literally do not want to hear one fing word from the poster who posts on every PANDAs thread about how it is fake. Then I have link to Harvard, Stanford and JHU's websites discussing PANDAs.[/quote]

Parents ignore medical issues ALL THE TIME, even at expensive private schools. [b]In fact, sometimes I think it is worse because the parents think “my special kid can’t have an issue” or “it doesn’t matter - we pay enough that the school can just deal with it.”[/b]

I agree with the previous poster. Your response and how you are already working with the school should be very telling. [/quote]

Yep. So many undiagnosed autistic kids at my DD’s private school. Everyone has an ADHD diagnosis though because who wouldn’t want extended time for testing.
