when my son had a screaming tic it was an ear piercing shrill scream not a yell or a yelp...it lasted about a month then never returned but it was probably one of the tuffest tics for him, us and our neighbors to endure. He was horribly embarrassed by it and, as with all TS tics, the more he tried to suppress it the worse it got
and this was during the time when he was on medications for TS............................

sorry but TS vocal tics can be very varied and not all manifest the same, so I dont see how you can say "this isnt like that"...how would you possibly know whether she has TS if you havent asked?

there are other conditions that may also be causing this too

just because she may have some odd or questionable behaviors, doesnt mean she can help the screaming.

If she does in fact have TS then she is protected by the Americans with Disabilities act and should not be punished for something she cannot help
