I was trying to see if there are any other parents out there that has a child with TS (and all the other disorders that comes with that). My son is 10 and treating the ADHD part of his disorder is very difficult. Any advice from anyone that has advice, that would be great. Middle school scares me to death. I think I may need to be sedated during those years. His depression leaves him with no motivation for anything. I know he is only 10 but will it really be a matter of pushing him for the rest of his life?

Thanks
Paige

I'm an adult with TS who was diagnosed at age 14. Family support and involvement in local support groups TS conferences and camps were crucial in becoming a confident and successful adult.

You are NOT alone! Try the national Tourette Syndrome Association for help:
