I just saw your post in the other thread showing your area. I'm in Australia so not familiar with your area but perhaps someone else will read the posts and know of someone.

Even though your child doesn't have an actual TS diagnosis, he is being treated for tics and so I'll post a couple of links. Perhaps you can email the association with your son's history and see if they're able to help you find someone for another opinion or even help you with some more information locally. I'm surprised your son has been prescribed Neuronitin for his tics.
