Where did it come from?
Really. Seriously.
Where did it come from?
You can have what may seem like any other regular, ordinary, well and healthy kid, and then all of the sudden something appears different. All of the sudden, out of the blue, your child begins acting a little different than the other kids.
You may not think anything at first. Maybe they are sniffing a little too much. Maybe they are coughing or swallowing a bit much. You might think it's allergies or a cold or something, but then it just isn't going away.
Maybe they keep scrunching up their nose or scratching their head or jerking their arm or leg. You could pass it off to thinking they are just a little hyperactive. Maybe they ate too much sugar today. But then you notice these actions when they are quietly relaxing and reading a book.
What is going on here, and where did it come from? They weren't doing these things before. What is the deal? You've known your kid since they were born, and they've never done these things before. There's never been any problems, but then it seems almost out of thin air these things called "tics" appear.
This is our family's story of how we first came to know Tourette Syndrome and our journey of learning and experiencing life with a son diagnosed with TS.
