[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 572750, member: 1550"] I think you need to get this child a total evaluation, both with a neuropsychologist AND a pediatric neurologist to see if he does have Tourettes or something similiar or if he's on the autism spectrum as well. Your own feeling that he doesn't have Tourettes really isn't a good enough reason not to have him evaluated. This is not common for kids. I've raised five plus half the neighborhood. He is not typical acting, but that doesn't mean it's a BAD thing. However, your child is wired differently and needs help, especially with those tics that come and go. He is little and can't do it on his own. You need to get him help. You need to find out what is wrong with him so that you can work with professionals and medical people to help him. Why is it that he hasn't been evaluated before? If it's fear...it is better to know than to watch it get worse. The older the child is, the harder it is to get these differences under control. Just thought of it...he could have epilepsy too. I'd really get him to a pediatric neurologist very soon. Welcome to the board :) [/QUOTE]
