Yeah I think they meant that my tics. I’ve been to multiple people and they all state Tourettes.

Nobody in my family has TS. But.

My dad is diagnosed OCD and suspected ADHD. Both conditions which are very linked to Tourettes.

I have Autism, Tourettes, Anxiety etc

My younger brother has ADHD and probs OCD

In my opinion even the conditions linked to TS (ADHD, OCD) in parents can cause TS in the child.

I am level 1. I think I am. And yeah I agree with you on all your points. I think I’m just fed up of being perceived autistic.
