I don't expect many comments here but needed to write about our new victory. My youngest son has many fine motor skill issues and a non-verbal learning disability that has made life at school quite difficult. When recommendations were made for modifications, I had requested that he be allowed to us...

I think that the problem is not your son's tics but society's poor attitude.

Understanding it, for me, is almost as good as having a "solution." I really...

Sometime over the past few months, he's developed a true dislike for people - anyone - to come into the house, other than us (parents and him). I...
