Go Corrie, go! What kind of tics is your child displaying? How can this website be of support to you via suppressing tics or just getting through it? I can promise you that I was a wreck when Stink (not his real name) was diagnosed 6 years ago. It has gotten a bit worse – more constant (noises and twitches) but all still very very manageable. I have heard that 90% of people grow out of their symptoms. I am determined to really support Stink’s “gifts” and not his “flaws” and in doing so, raise a confident kid that tics can’t get to. I support you, too! I’m open to topics always. Andrea

I too am a googler and it has caused me so much anxiety and worry about what is going to happen to my child. Why do we not hear about the kids who out grow their tics? If my child is so lucky to be one of those children I will be shouting it from the roof top and telling everyone who is worried about their own child. I am going to challenge myself right now that the only website I will read about tics is this one.

You are SO right. My kid’s very first pediatrician said this upon my first visit with my brand new baby: Please don’t google. Call me as many times as you want with as many questions as you have but PLEASE don’t google. I had no idea why he was so adamant. And I didn’t really listen. I googled. And googled. For years. Until the anxiety nearly killed me. I’m a recovering googler. Because the temptation does return from time to time. But on most days I can fight off the googler demons.

I love it! You should write a book of poems for kids- in your spare time, i mean.
