 |
|
sorry if ive spelt it wrong. To cut a long story short, my autistic/adhd son has had many habits over the years. Recently he has been snorting and coughing, so I took him to the doctors. Doctor said he is fine and what he is doing is knows as a tick (apologies if i have spelt it wrong) Is this common with autism as we are worried he may also have tourettes - he is obsessed with bombing, killing, smashing etc etc - all very painful when out in public, for us, him and our 2yr old who now copies him. Any help appreciated.
I did post this in the wrong forum before, apologies for that. R. |

TICK<- A bug that needs blood, and attaches on to animals until fully engorged and can thus be a vector for disease.
TIC<- An involuntary movement of a particular muscle |

My 9yr old AS son did the same thing for months, we had him checked out and yep it was a tic. It eased up for a while. Every now and then it pops back up. We try to ignore.
Huh, my son is also into violent games etc. His first obssesion was the army and guns, tanks,bombs etc. He now loves nothing better than something called stick page where you get to shoot, maime,kill other stick figures, everything but the blood is black and white. If we see him on this site we make him get off much to his disgust. |

We really worry about his violent obsessions as he is only 6! everything he says involves killing, bombing, whacking etc. We never let him watch violent films so I don't even know where it all comes from. Hopefully it is just a phase as I'm at the point where I dont want to take him out in public because of the things he comes out with. I don't care about his ways other than that as it's just him, but the things he says are painfuly embarassing. |
