Turretts Syndrome
Posted: 03-23-05 10:31am

It was just confirmed yesterday that my 7 year old neice has a mild case of turretts syndrome. I don't know anything about this but I do remember a guy from high shcool who had it and was made fun of b/c of his ticks. This worries me greatly, kids are going to be kids but when it hits home, it's a whole different issue. She has had symptoms since she was a baby but my brother and his wife that is was just growing pains. She goes for an mri tomorrow b/c she had bad headaches a lot. Is this part of it? At this point the doc is not putting her on meds, he thinks she could outgrow it. Does anyone know info concerning turretts? Please let me know. Thanks.

i was speaking to a girl who has an 8yr old boy who has austism and has a terrible bad language problem and I wondered if it could be turretts syndrome as his language is so bad and adult in his nature . Does anyone know if this is associated with autism.
