my special little one is 8 years old. at 5 yr. he had a few facial tics, but they went away. he was diagonised with ADHD at 5. He has been on adderall and resiperdone since then. Last year we found out that he is on the autisum spectrum and that he is highly developemental.He has been having severe tics for the last few months. They keep him awake at nite and it is so hard for him to focus. Can anyone help me with some insight. Thank you ↓

Hello bsmith, my name is Lola and I am very new to this site. I hate that your baby is going through this and I can only imagine how the both of you feel. What kind of tics does he do at night? I'm sorry I cannot provide you with a whole lot of "How To" but i'd love to help out by asking around about things to do to replace his tics. You have my deepest sympathy and I am going to pray for you and your little one. Lola ↑
