How old is your kid again, LAF? DS8 cycles through tics and it always ramps up in fall and gets better in spring. We have found that vitamin d, zinc and magnesium citrate supplements seem to help, or maybe it's just coincidental with the cycles, no idea, but can't hurt either. I also feel that it's been getting better this year, around five and six was worst, which I read is prime benign ticking age. I found very little on the correlation between gifted OEs or HSs and benign ticking though, all on message boards basically, by btdt parents...

I think your sons psych sounds a bit unprofessional, though. I get it when friends or my husband tell me to back off (sometimes not so nicely) but this is part of his job, right?
