[QUOTE="YoyoMama, post: 234880, member: 6659"] Totoro - thanks for your post. I was not familiar with the term low-tone and so googled it. I don't think that is what is driving his lip-licking. He just started that about 1 year ago and it appears to clearly be an nervous tick of sorts driven by anxiety. It is clearly more pronounced in the winter. It may be a derivative of the Vyvanse but I don't know even one other parent whose child is on Vyvanse to talk with about side effects. But still the concept of using something to **** on is a great idea. I think I will look into that. He loves gum but I had to nix that as he often ends up with it in his hair or on his clothes. I really hear you about not adding to the anxiety about being late. I am GUILTY as charged - guilty, guilty, guilty. Now I have to find ways to avoid that. The last school definitely fueled my own anxiety as they were VERY judgemental and condemning. No help at all. TerryTJ - thanks so much for your encouragement. So glad to know that there is hope.
