tics change over time


Recommended Posts

Very very common. I keep thinking my son's current tic is the worst, and then the next one comes around and I miss the previous one!

 

 

Anyone experience tics changing over time? whereas at one point they could affect movement...and at another point affect something else.

For Ds12..who would get roughly 3 episodes a year,

he had complete remission between episodes.(strep induced...would have been swedo poster child)

Either as he aged, or as more episodes occured, the tics became more severe

 

simple tic..eye blink 3-5yrs old

motor tic...shoulder shrug(eye blink gone) 5-9 years old

vocals,gross motor, and chaining....9 years till current(and tics rotate, but are constant and varied)

OCD often goes hand-in-hand with tics. They could be compulsions, which are a lot less repetitive than the tics.

Must vocal and breathing tics always be repetitive or can they vary quite a bit? We are hearing lots of odd noises from ds that we can't begin to explain, but they are not repetitive in nature.
