Hey rake,
1. how old is your son? He is 12
2. Was he born with TS? If not, how old at first symptom? around 3-4 yes old
3. What was his first symptom? Studder, picking lips, and needing to wear a coat at ALL times.
4. What type TS does he have? Is it Gilles? Gilles
5. Does he have vocal tics? Does he curse during said tics? He does have vocal tics but doesn't curse
6. Did he develop the OCD and anxiety after or at same time of TS? Both after
7. If the OCD and Anxiety came after, which one came first OCD or Anxiety? Anxiety
8. Besides the TS, which issue is worse on him, OCD or Anxiety? Anxiety
9. Is his anxiety and OCD worse after he has physical or vocal tics or do they stay the same whether he has tics or not? It gets worse w tics
10. How long does his anxiety last on average when it flares up? Depends on what the trigger was. Sometimes as little as 5 mins but usually 15 mins for the worst part to pass. However the remainder of the day is always ruff.
11. When he has anxiety how does it manifest itself normally? Does he become angry, have a hard time breathing, pace the floor, pull at his clothes or even want to take his clothes off? He has a hard time breathing, cry, he does pull at his clothes and wants a heavy coat to put on.
12. It almost goes without saying but does he have any friends (non-relatives) that he is comfortable with while he is ticking? Very important! His best friend has TS (shocker right) however he moved schools this year so he doesn't have one yet.

We didn't get a formal DX until a couple of months ago.

He has a lot of problems sleeping. His body cont to tics for a few hours after he had actually fallen asleep which takes him a while to fall asleep in the first place. Thanks for listening. Any advice would be more than welcome

Thanks
