Default Tic Disorder

Hi There-
Just reading through all of your posts. My 11 yr old son has Tourette Syndrome and has been having a very rough time. He does the neck jerking as one of his tics. I started a support group here in Phoenix a few months back which has helped a great deal on the emotional side. I thought I would pass on to you that several people in the group have recently started taking Abilify for their tics and have had amazing results. We are seeing a Neurologist this Thursday and are going to look into this. My son is to the point where we are going to have to do an in-service for the whole 5th grade to let them know what is going on with him. It is better to educate them. If they are educated about it, we are hoping there will not be as much teasing. He is already a very well liked child so our fingers are crossed.
