Hi there
Only a qualified doctor can really assess you in person/telehealth for TS diagnosis, but you can find a lot of info in the helpful resources section here that may give you some insight:

Useful Websites & Resources for Tourette Syndrome

What is Tourette Syndrome?

Just do be aware that often conventional neurologists will diagnose and then immediately offer a medication for tics.
Do be sure you inform yourself about any meds pros & cons, and especially known side effects.
There are other ways of helping tics. A website with a lot of info on that is here:
What is Tourette Syndrome? - A Comprehensive Overview | ACN Latitudes

I hope that gives you some insight, and that your appointment goes well.
Let us know.
