[QUOTE="Stella, post: 261363, member: 6837"] Hi ML. I have a [I]little[/I] experience with this. My difficult child was hospitalised last summer while i was away on holidays. My mother was looking after her while I went away and one evening she went into a full blown 'rage" .My parents and two of my sisters were in the house when this happened and nobody could control her, nobody knew what to do so my sister ended up calling an ambulance. She was taken to hospital as kept in until I returned (got early flight home). Well, actually, come to think of it she had started blinking excessivly for a few weeks prior to the hospital admission. Anway while she was in there, the blinking got worse and she also started throat clearing and sniffing. Its like all of these tics came out of nowhere!! I was terrified that this was something that was going to stay with her. It really was quite disturbing to see her like this. Anyway, to cut a long story short, a few days after she was discharged from the hospital, all the tics subsided and she hasn't had them since - thank God! - they all seemed to go as quickly as they came - it was really quiet bizarre but I suppose if anything it proved how these things can be brought on from an intense amount of anxiety. I don't know if there is a link between tourettes and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) but it is something I must look into as I presently have a psychiatric who is trying to tell me difficult child is Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) - I personally find it hard to believe that her sensory issues, learning difficulties and the fact that she developed a tic disorder so easily are congruent with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).. Anyway, just to reiterate and on a hopeful note, from my experience tics it is possible for the tics to disappear on their own once the anxiety is dealt with....I do not know if this is always the case though especially with severe forms...
