NeuroTalk Support Groups - Helpful site -

Over the years I found these links very helpful especially having had a child who had a number of other conditions as well as the tics and having witnessed that those other conditions can often impact seriously on the severity of the tics.

It is a huge site so worth checking the *site map* for specific information.

Quote:

"Note: This list is not all-inclusive. Furthermore, any behavior or symptom may have alternative explanations in a child who has TS and other diagnoses such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and/or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Differentially diagnosing any one symptom cannot be made without further study or information. Teachers or school personnel should contact the child's parents and treating professionals for assistance and guidance." [quoting Leslie Packer]
