I am now going to touch on other conditions, just because your child has a diagnosis of TS does mean at all that they will have any of these other disorders as well. I will add links to sites for these disorders as I find them, in the meantime, Tourette Syndrome Plus is a good place to begin.
Like I said above I am not an expert in this field and the best place to begin, if you feel your child may have another disorder apart from TS is to get back to your medical professional for a diagnosis. When we start dealing with other disorders it can become confusing, so I will not go into this any further, but would like you to check out the links below. And as time goes on and I find good links I will add them.
I am hoping that by linking these here, we will not get confused and place some of these behaviours under Tourette Syndrome.
