My 7yr old Ds has lots of different tics over the last year. They vary on a weeks basis. One week its shoulders , then the next it could be head movement. He has no vocal tics.
It all started last year and there was a lot of stress in the house. Ds2 was refered to the early intervention service for assessment of autisim (for which we still are waiting on psychologist) so as you can imagine i was very upset and stressed out dealing with this. Also Ds1 can moved into a new class in school and wasn't too fond of the teacher. We got a new childminder in the house so there was a lot happening.
Unfortunately when a lot of the stress settled down the tics continued. Gp was not too interested and said he'll grow out of them. Im very worried about him going back to school because anxiety seems to exacerbate them.
Any advice or experience of this would be greatly appreciated. Would love to know what to do to help my Ds. Thanks
