I am 22, and along with tourette's syndrome, i have major depressive disorder, PTSD, DID, and panic disorder. I was a very stubborn angry child (and was abused because of that because parents wanted to control me). My tourette's started at age 8. I did not have any other diagnosis at the time. But i know i had anger management problems. i just did not know what to do with my emotions. My handwriting was horrible as a child, and i would get in trouble at school for it, the teacher would make me write my name over and over and over when other kids were playing. That was not fun... i am not sure what else to say. each child is different and need different approaches to parenting. i have never had a child. but i do know that if my parents would have just let me know that my emotions did not make me a bad person, and that there were ways of dealing with them, then who knows how much better i could have done.
Thanks for this!
