Belly button tic

[mar]

Just curious but ds has been doing this tic for several months. It's not as severe now thank goodness but caught him every now and then . But he was obsessive with lifting his shirt to check on belly button to make sure it's not bleeding according to him. We have talked about it and he feels like its going to bleed. I purposely have touched it gently to prove him wrong and have discussed it with him but he laughts when he does it and saids it is a habbit.

sounds like OCD

 

if he also has Tourette it may be one of those morphed Tourettic OCD symptoms

Yes, one of my daughters does something like this - but her specialist said it was an OCD behaviour. She also has tics.
