Its really bad because for years he has had the tics with movement.
He added the vocal about a year and half ago. But mom wasn't ready
to admit it could be tourettes. But it really sounded like it. Now she
has asked the psychiatrist if it could be. And the psychiatrist agreed.

I'm so glad that when he swictched schools his case manager switched,
because the person that had him, had the idea still to say oh I think he
is still able to control this. Even though he had finally when asked by
mom told her he didn't know why they came out. They just did.

His old principal had also told mom he was pretty sure that this child
had no control over his words when these came out. So he was on
board. And he would see them when he was in his office with him
trying to calm down before mom would get there. He was the
reason he could stay in the school as long as he had.

They both hated the fact he was leaving behind a great principal.
But the principal is making a point to keep a eye on him. So hopefully
that will help. He gave them both his direct contacts.
