Hi,
My name's Eva and I have a 10 and a half year old son who has developed a tic disorder. It seems to have happened overnight, but probably has been around for ages and I just never noticed it!
My son has Asperger's Syndrome as well.
J's tic is rapid blinking. It was really bad earlier this week - I wondered how he actually managed to see anything - but it's decreased now and not as intense.
I've read some info on the net about tic disorders but there's so much out there I don't know where to start!
The main thing that concerns me is if J is bothered by the blinking. At school the other day he had to go and have a lie down as he said his eyes were sore. (Mind you, I did find out that this coincided with J's class having a relief teacher who was doing division with them and the class was pretty noisy!)
I was wondering if there is anything I can do to help allieviate (sorry about bad spelling)the tic. I read somewhere something about magnesium...
Thanks everyone! I look forward to being part of this forum
Eva
