Does anyone have experience with Tourette Syndrome?

Augustin's sweet girlfriend has Tourette Syndrome. She is a wonderful young lady. I have learned a few things about Tourette from her.

Elizabeth,
I don't know if you caught it, but there was a discussion on CCM maybe 2-3 months ago on this topic and several people replied with personal experiences. I didn't respond at the time. We never had a diagnosis here, but my oldest could possible fall somewhere on the spectrum. He has mostly outgrown the tics he had, though mild ones surface again under stress.

I used to babysit for a little boy who had tourette syndrome. My older sister advised his mom that she should speak to a doctor about Matthew. He would bang his head on the wall and pull at his hair when upset with his sister or about something. I believe he was placed on medication which really helped. The last I heard (2001), he was doing very well.

Matthew was a wonderful little boy and a true joy to babysit. I am sure he is a wonderful young man, today!
