My son was seen by a pediatric neurologist on Friday and was diagnosed with tourettes. He has at times in the past had some eye blinking or would chew his shirt but out of nowhere a couple of weeks ago he began rolling his neck, shrugging his shoulders, and snapping his fingers. I took him to the neurologist and he diagnosed him with tourettes. This is just all happening so fast. Are there tests etc. that I should be asking for???? The doctor prescribed straterra for his adhd and told me to ignore the tics and he would eventually outgrow them. This is not sitting right with me and I don't know why... Any help would be appreciated. I'm so scared for my son.
Thanks
Melanie
(He is 8)
