hello,

My 4 yr old grandson has been seeing a psychologist and psychiatrist for a little while now to try work out what is wrong with him.
I won't go into all the details but they were thinking along the lines of ADHD and/or ODD but last week he developed a tic and now they've thrown Tourettes into the list of possibilities as well.

They can't test him properly though or give us a diagnosis until he's 6 for some reason.

The psychiatrist has put him on pericyazine to help with the tic (he clears his throat all the time, especially when he's around other people ). We can ignore it but he started school this year and he came home upset yesterday as some of the other children were calling him amongst other things a "retard", a word I really, really dislike.

I'm just after any links, contacts or the like you can give me so I can pass the information on to my daughter as this is all new and confusing to us all.

Thanks
