I don't know if this is an over-reaction on his part but my DP thinks my son may have tourettes Syndrome.
Basically he's 7 (nearly 8) and for the past few months he has been saying the word "crap" alot, not in conversation, just the one word and it seems to come out of nowhere and sometimes it doesnt make any sense.
For instance he'll be sat playing on the PC, Ill walk in and put some clothes on the bed and he'll look and say "crap" and when I ask why he said it he laughs and says he doesn't know or "I didn't mean to". He says it quite alot to things that don't make sense, he'll just be sat watching TV and he'll say it for instance but he always says he didn't mean to say it or he doesnt know why he said it.
We've never made an issue out of it so its not as if he's playing on it...so is it just an average 7 year old playing up or something else?
