I don't know of this is a tic, but you know when you stare at something, then stare at a white wall and the colour you've just stared at goes the opposite when you stare at the wall? Well, I don't know if any other Aspies (or NTs) do this, but I am always staring at the brightest thing in the room then staring at the wall to see it's opposite. I've been doing it ever since I was about 2 years old and I'm still doing it to this day. Usually I stare at a bright red or bright green object. It's getting annoying, but I find it I don't do it I find I get a pressuring urge to have to do it.

But at least others don't really know I'm doing it, so the tic is hidden.

Regarding facial tics, some medicines are known to cause or increase ticcing. Also, you might take a look at what are called paroxymal dyskinesias. Tics, for some persons with Tourette, may be simply part of it. That's my understanding.
