Lightworker27 Report post Posted June 20, 2011 Hello all, I'm new to this forum so just a quick introduction, I'm Rachael 32 and my daughter Bethany who's 14, Bethany was dx with a form of Tourettes (tic disorder) when she was 9 had tics since well we noticed from age of 6 could have been younger?, Now Bethany has had some assessments for Aspergers and is awaiting to see the consultant for a dx,Now thinking Bethany has Aspergers with tics. Will be good to chat to other people who understand as at times can feel isolated and hopeless in helping my daughter. Hope to chat soon X <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
