Habits and tics

am worried that my DD has Tourette's. She is almost 12 and has odd motor and vocal tics since about 5 years old. In the last 8 months it has got much worse. Anyone got any experience of this

Have you jotted down when it's occurring and what it is? Might be helpful for noting any patterns at all.

DS2 is being assessed for ASD/ADHD/and so on... but no mention of Tourette's, and no suspicion of Tourette's at all either. But he does have a tic in his eye, which become more pronounced when he is stressed or upset, and some vocal noises that we believe are stimming.

Sorry I can't be much help though.

Sorry, don't know, but bumping for you.
