[QUOTE="ML, post: 428499"] nothing to add except it can definitely be both. Manster has both AS and Tourette's Syndrome. He used to suck on his shirt and had a constant wet spot there. Typical stimulant. Later on he developed tics and went on to meet the criteria for Tourette's. His tics include: humming, throat clearing and eye blinking. Tourette's Syndrome is diagnosis when there are both vocal and movement tics. As Marg said, they can control them if they concentrate on it but it removes their coping mechanism and often they tic or stimulant more later. Stuff that tends to "travel" with Tourette's Syndrome is ADHD and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). [/QUOTE]
