[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 187834, member: 1991"] "But he is blinking his eyes all the time. Could this be a tic?" Yes. The throat-clearing one - difficult child 3 does this, has done for years. He was trying to make a film for a school project, was filming lorikeets feeding and all his footage was unusable because he was making his quiet throat noise. The blinking - I've seen this in a couple of difficult child 3's drama classmates (also mostly autistic). difficult child 1's Aspie friend used to do this too. I tend to leave them alone, re tics. Unless the tic is really disruptive, we've learnt to just ignore it. The more you fuss, the worse you can make it. And if it's a way of coping with stress, then why interfere? But it is a good idea to query if it's medication-related because you don't want your child ticcing because of medications. At least THAT is controllable! Marg [/QUOTE]
