[QUOTE="mum2JK&TH, post: 67541, member: 1784"] My difficult child has Tourettes and I have similar fears as you do. I hear they get worse with puberty. Lately we have had more motor tics than anything, but he does have vocal tics too. He is on Clonidine to control the tics because the only thing that works for his ADHD is Concerta so it worsens the tics. We have no Tourettes in the family and no known Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), but I do believe I may have a very mild case of it, but haven't been able to admit it out loud. We have tried to keep difficult child active in a sport (currently hockey) or an activity that he is successful at. We have found that he makes friends this way and they don't seem to make as big of a deal with his tics. Hopefully it'll continue to work like that. [/QUOTE]
