I have often heard that kids that see other kids ticcing pick up their tics. Like at Tourettes Camps one will tic and then they will all start doing it. They may be happening with your boys.
My son has had his "breathing" tic or stomach tic before too. He will like hold his stomach in and out. He will do it until he makes himself sick and throws up.
He also has what we call the "tooth tic". where he will like grind on his tooth or teeth to the point of chipping or creating ulcers. This is all in addition to having urges to hit himself, shout out curse and vulgar words.. I just had my breakdown last weekend. I know how you feel. Helpless at times. We have tried all kidns of natural supplements, diets.
Is either of your boys on any medications?
