I have several motor tics and a few phonic tics. But since I am not diagnosed with Tic Syndrome or Tourettes, Does that mean that I actually don't have tics? :o

My guess is that you just haven't been diagnosed with tourettes YET.

So if I'm NOT diagnosed, that means that my tics aren't real until I've been diagnosed. That's how I actually see it. xP

You shouldn't look at it that way, your tics are real whether your diagnosed or not.

Here's a list. "Biting index knuckles while squeaking and making various noises, Lowering my eyebrows and rolling my eyes, Rolling my eyes downward, crossing my eyes, excessive blinking, shaking my feet, cracking all the bones I can in my body, twitching my neck, rolling my wrists backward, shaking my hands wildly, stretching my fingers, sighing, tightening my throat and making Kingler Noises sometimes. (Pokemon) I've had this ever since I was 7 and they change over time.
