tics increasing

After a fantastic start to school the tics seem to be on the increase. This does not appear to be anxiety related as the boys are happy and confident at schoo.  School still being really good, organised and pro-active. Very difficult couple of days for both boys and Ben is right now being kept awake by his nightly tic attack :(
School are coping and are keen to ensure the boys stay in school and remain safe and secure whilst still trying to do something if tics are present. They have new laptops arrived in the last couple of days so this should help the LSAs with learning and distraction.
So horrible to see when the tics start to get the better of them. They are exhausted and end up in a vicious circle as tiredness lets the tics take hold and so it goes on.
They remain happy despite the difficult time they have, I dont know where they get their strength, an inner strength that Im not sure I would have if in their shoes. Touretters you truly are special people :)
