I only have a suggestion for the tics. My son has had some tics on and off, some OCD,-type behavior. The tics were getting really noticeable and seemed completely involuntarily. I read somewhere magnesium helps with tics and such so I started giving him Epsom salt baths (for the magnesium). Within a week of starting the baths, the tics stopped completely. Completely. I have him take an Epsom salt bath now at three times weekly (usually more like 4 or 5) (I even brought it with us on vacation). I put at least two full cups in his bath each time and I have him soak for no less than 15 minutes each time. Really worked for us. Tics have not come back at all. Maybe try that to help with the tics at least!
