Do I have tourrettes?
I sometimes doing these things;
abdominal tensing, adjusting crotch area, adjusting wedgie, arm extending, biting nails, biting lips, blinking eyes, brushing hair out of eyes, bulging eyes, chin touching, clothes pulling, cracking knuckles, rolling eyes, winking, facial grimacing, finger smelling, foot flexing, foot tapping, foot shaking, gluteal tensing, head jerk, head turn, jerking neck, leg tensing, licking lips, shoulder lifting, lip pouting, nose twitching, nose touching, rolling shoulders, toe scrunching, tongue clicking, blowing on fingers, clearing throat, grunting, holding breath, laughing, breathing loudly, sniffing, snorting, talking to myself and ear popping.
Most of these I don't do often but some of them I do quite a lot. I'm not sure if it's tourrettes or not because I can't describe it as involuntary. Normally I'd do these actions because that certain place feels uncomfortable and I need to do it to get it normal again. I'm 15 years old. Only my younger brother (11 years old) has similar actions and he also swallows the air and grunts a lot. Most of my other siblings only sniff and clear their throat. I'm about 65% sure that my parents don't have tourrettes, although I haven't asked them. Could some-one please tell me if I have tourrettes or tourrettism?
