[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 315575, member: 2423"] As I'm sure you well know, simply defined, Tourette's criteria include a combo of at least two motor tics and at least one vocal tic with symptoms lasting at least one year and with an onset before 18 years old. But Tourette's is highly co-morbid with other conditions including ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety, depression and learning disabilities. So it's very possible that your difficult child has a lot of other stuff going on in addition to his Tourette's Syndrome. My own son has motor tics, but not vocal, so he does not have a diagnosis of Tourette's Syndrome. He also has co-morbid anxiety, depression, ADHD (inattentive) and mood dysregulation. BiPolar (BP) is a rule-out diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
