I have Tourette Syndrome. My first tics were at the age of 5. I kept on gulping, then it spread out to scrunching my nose, rolling my eyes, and jerking my neck and hitting my stomach. I was diagnosed when I was 13, because of some issues are family had, we couldn't go earlier. The ealier you catch the TS the more help you can get, the more help you can get the more you can work with the tics.
here is a web site I made: isthistourette.web.com
and my youtube is: youtube.com/user/isthistourettes
they both have info about my tics and on youtube you can see them!!
:)
good luck!!
my website has some stratigies i use with my teachers, this year i started high school, so i can relate alot to your son. If he wants to talk to me, he can send me a message on youtube and i will reply or he can email me at ***@****
my tics were very bad and still are. especially since im in a class with people that are older than me. What I find very!! helpful is when the teachers understand!!
Your child should not have to suffer like this I would definatley take him back to the docs, at his age you could probably ask him what he wants to do. Perhaps his meds need changing, I dont know enough about tourettes but maybe they are not working anymore with the additional stress of the new school. Good Luck and I hope things work out for you and your son.
