[QUOTE="Andrea Danielle, post: 40711, member: 2357"] Oh yes!!!! I now feel like an expert on Tourette's Syndrome! My niece has it for sure, but my sister is in denial and won't take her to be evaluated. I have all of the evidence from the books and am tracking her symptoms for the day the that my sister is ready to confront it. Also, a friend's son clearly has Tourette's Syndrome. I have been saying this for years! And now he has developed a clear head shake and throat clearing. He is 10 now and his behaviour when he was younger was so similar to my difficult child that we had to keep the 2 of them apart. When we were visiting these friends last week, my easy child who is also 10 came up from playing with this boy and whispered to me "mom, he has Tourette's" - he is diagnosing too! I think it comes with the territory and once we gain the knowledge we can spot the signs. I think it is a good thing, especially being comfortable enough with the person that you can tell them to have it assessed, which we did and they are planning to take him in soon. Andrea [/QUOTE]
