[QUOTE="buddy, post: 483419, member: 12886"] I didn't mean philosophically trump it... it is ACTUALLY trumped in the DSM. it actually says you can not diagnose the tic disorder as Tourette's if it is accounted for by a general medical condition that causes the tics (including autism it says, by the way--if the kid has repeated impulsive motor or vocal behaviors and is autistic I guess no tourettes either...according to the dsm... but I think the quality/nature of many of the autistic repeated motor movements and sounds/words/echolalia are different--of course I haven't met all kids in the world, teehee) or if the tics are caused by medication/chemicals. yes, I get it that diagnoses dont actually trump each other and they evolve. I am saying that the way the dsm is written now, the diagnosis just can't officially be given because his symptoms are accounted for by the general medical condition of an acquired brain injury from the cavernous angioma. The ABI is always listed under the gen. medication. axis on his diagnosis forms. [/QUOTE]
