[QUOTE="ML, post: 261273"] Ok, I hope I don't sound like one of those moms who think their kid has every letter diagnosis under the sun, BUT.... I think manster may have mild Tourettes. I've brought up the tics here previously. A couple years ago we noticed a throat clearing tic and about a year ago he started the eye blinking. Well now we think he has a cough tic. Sure, he has asthma and allergies so at first I thought it was a natural reflex, but I'm starting to wonder. He was coughing repetitively on the plane. I had given him his flonase, qvar and a shot of albeuterol. His flow meter was slightly low but had pulled up with the medications. So my brother said "I think it's more of a habit, his lungs sound clear". So we made a deal with him that if he didn't cough for the entire plane ride (2 hours) we'd give him $20 to spend at the M&M store. He did it! He told me it was difficult. I could see him try to hold back the urge but he managed to pull it off and was proud as a peacock. I guess it's pretty typical to run with ADHD. It kind of explains a lot of quirkiness too. Does anyone here have experience with Tourette's Syndrome? As always I appreciate any thoughts and/or feedback. ML [/QUOTE]
