what on earth could be wrong with ds friend?

[festiveface]

overheard a conversation he other day about something being the matter with ds schoolfriend. when i actually saw the child i was really concerned, he was twitching or having tics of some sort. He has always seemed a very healthy robust child and although he seems to be just carrying on as normal, i feel really worried as to what could be wrong.
I can't really approach the mum and ask and ds made out that he hadn't noticed anything!

what could it be? seems sudden.

what age is he?

6

could something traumatic have happened to him maybe? doesn't have to be physical illness. either that or some sort of brain injury/bleed etc?

if it were contagious the school would have been notified and put measures in place so i wouldn't think it matters really?

just wonder if he has had a virus which may have affectedhis nervous system? is that a possibility?

i don't know. i don't really talk to the mum, it wasn't just facial twitching more sort of his head, arms, hands

It could be an actual tic, these things can occur at anytime.

I knew one child who at the age of about 4 had a tic which made his head twitch involuntarily, he had it for about 6mths and then it just stopped!

Don't really know the cause of them.
