[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 536996, member: 14356"] If this has been long term then my best guess would be Tourette's. My son and my dad both do the hand-flapping. I've never done it but I do have multiple facial tics. Tourette's has many different tics and they don't all have to be present to fit the diagnosis. Stress will bring it out more tics as will puberty in some kids. There are ways to tic that make the tics look less like tics and more like normal movements. For example if I need to twitch my nose I will often put my hand up to my nose and give it a little scratch while I tic so no one notices it. [/QUOTE]
