Hi,
My DS2 is 7. For just over a year he's been doing, what I can only describe as, Tics.
He changes them every 2-3 months. Initially it was looking out of the corner of his eye. So he'd be looking at something and would suddenly move his head so that he could see out of the corner of his eye. When that tic first started his teacher called me in after school as she was concerned about him ( he has a low grade brain tumour which affects his eyes- he's now under going chemo )
He has since stopped doing that, but has also had a nodding head tic, one where he'd suddenly stop dead as he was walking and he's been doing the most recent for the last month or so. It's the most obvious as its a noise. He basically sniffs but also makes noises with his mouth, sometimes sounds like his laughing inwards, almost like a hiccup sound.
When it's bad, it's constant. He's sat on the sofa next to me ( watching a video on the iPad) and he's constantly sniffing in and making some sort of noise. He assures me he doesn't do it at school , my biggest worry is other children noticing ( and they couldn't miss it!)
I'm worried that it's Tourette's mainly due to that fact it's dragging on.
Does anyone have any experience of this?
