Hi,
We are due to see a child psychologist tomorrow, DS (7) has been having tics for approx 18 months. They can vary between eye roll, head jerking, arms lurching, grunting, making a noise like an internal hiccup, coughing. He always has at least one motor and a vocal tic at any one time. Currently he's head jerking and grunting.
I feel he's going to be diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome , so I want to be prepared. Are there any questions we should ask the psychologist?
It's really rubbish as he's currently also going through chemo, the stress of which I'm sure is making his tics worse
