[QUOTE="tishthedish, post: 621107, member: 17103"] Kelepani, I too have sons with Tourette Syndrome. Two of them as a matter of fact. When they were small I read every book, went to the national convention and became an expert on medications, doctors, therapies, etc. Tourette Syndrome is tricky though. It manifests as different things and can morph into other problems. When my 2 sons achieved milestones and finally got to college, I breathed a sigh of relief thinking that now that they were adults my husband and I could relax. WRONG! People with Tourette Syndrome are more likely to develop bipolar, are at higher risk for substance abuse, gambling, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), impulsivity, the list goes on. I know it to be true because each of my sons have manifested these conditions between them.75% of literature on Tourette Syndrome has been written in the last 20 years. Please seek out the newest literature on it. Maybe there is something that is currently being used to help young adults. Does he still have tics? [/QUOTE]
