Advice on Tourette Syndrome

[Rose33]

My son is 7. Since he was 6, he started doing imulsive, unusual body movements. After some research i realise its Tics and it ran in my husbands family. I would be grateful of any advice please. I read to avoid products with caffine and high in salicylates. What foods are best? Many thanks.

I taught a child last year who had Tics. I was told by SEN team to totally ignore them and I was delighted that my class after a short time hardly noticed it anymore. He would shout out ramdom words, twitch etc. Really wasn't an issue really, but his case was mild I guess.

I really know no more but didn't want you to go unanswered.

children can have tics without it being tourettes.

Have posted on your other thread Rose. Google Sue Dengate and Failsafe and you should find some good info. There's some good infohere

Hope that helps
