[QUOTE="buddy, post: 492286, member: 12886"] Q rubs his head, like he is feeling his hair in circles, scratches when in a new place especially, makes noises loud squeals, throat coughs or clearing, and of course as you all know the verbal stuff..... I can clearly see how a variety of emotions can cause it to happen more but it also happens just when sitting around at times. Tics dont mean they have NO control, just like when you have an itch and you can control not scratching but it can make you crazy not to scratch it.... and the itch can feel worse. Or sometimes it might pass but not usually. I have struggled with this a lot over the years especially when he picks up a verbal sound or word, or even an action that is exactly what he has seen or heard from another kid. (that is how he started a hand flapping thing with a sound that goes with it, now it is just so engrained and he has said, dont tell me to stop...it makes me feel better) I have received no clear answer on how best to treat them either. For us, trying to do things that are incompatable does not usually work. Usually just riding it out and then moving on does the best. If it is a medication side effect, well that is easy, you can stop the medications..... but the question is if being off the medications is better or worse than the tics themselves. Just reallly hard stuff. [/QUOTE]
