dasu Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) My son has had a number of tics observed through the years of PANDAS. Spitting, echolalia, swallowing, blurting things out. He has also had most of the other PANDAS symptoms - some OCD, ADHD, ODD, anger/violent behavior. There is one symptom that I cannot understand though. He will often try to look at his reflection while talking (he talks a LOT). We dont notice any other time that he looks at his reflection, only when talking. That could be a mirror in our house, the rear view mirror of a car, a window etc. We have to remind him "talk to us not your reflection" So what is this behavior classified as? Is it a tic? Is he obsessed with himself? Is he just trying to improve the way looks when he talks? Edited September 21, 2015 by dasu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicklemama Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I would call that a compulsion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
