Hi
My 10 year old son has high functioning autism and also has vocal and physical tics. Scouts have mentioned tourettes. Looking at the criteria I think he very likely does have tourettes but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of treatment. If there is no real treatment is there much point in getting a diagnosis or is it just another label. The ticks are throat clearing, head nodding and clenching his shoulders up. They have been going on for a while. Will drawing his attention to it just make it worse?
