[QUOTE="SmallTownMom, post: 574212, member: 14555"] Hi Angela, My son was diagnosed with turrets "officially" last March. His tics are at times very obvious and at times not so much. He humms a lot, grunts and or clears his throat while talking, rapid eye movement and blinking, the stretching of his eye muscles and at times head jerking. His psychiatrist has not put him on medication yet, he has told my difficult child that it is up to him. His tics weren't bothering him and he wasn't being teased. His psychiatrist has told me that at times kids can outgrow their turrets. Just over the holidays my difficult child was having a calm down time in my room (to many people around), when I came in to talk to him he exclaimed with such emotion "I HATE MY TICS".. It broke my heart. We have a psychiatrist appointment at the end of the month, we will bring up medications and see what our options are. [/QUOTE]
