What a beautiful little guy! My 25 yr old adopted Korean son has Tourette Syndrome. His tics started as a 'hair flick" where he would jerk the hair out of this eyes. then came the shoulder shrug & at one time he even had the Michael Jackson pants grab tic. About 15 tics come and go! Found out if he was with other Tourette people they would often "trade" a tic for a while! Once he hit puberty it got little better but never went all the way away. He functions like any other adult now.
Jaymes does this too, but only when he eats. They never did figure out if it was a seizure of some kind or just stimming. What did you end up finding out (I see this is an older video)?
It passes eventually, to be replaced with didfferent tics. Now he needs to lick the table/plate after each bite of food. Before that it was needing to touch the floor before getting up from a seated position. Tra la la!
I think it could be a tic, i think he blinks too, tic disorder, tourette syndrome, are comorbid disease with OCD ant autistic, pay attention and going with at the doctor, someone who understand tourette syndrome and OCD.
I know this tics in myself, its bad in my case i have OCD and Tourette Syndrome
Hi Dinah - I hope you read this e-mail! I just saw the video of Leelo's head shaking. I am by no means a psychologist, I am however an OCD sufferer. That specific behavior (head shake)is exactly what I did when I was a child. It really bothered me to see that again! I am concerned with the accuracy of the other comments. Watch him closely and don't rule out OCD so fast!!!!
Well, OCD is not so much a concern as a seizure disorder that was recently diagnosed in one of his cousins, and which has similar manifestations. But it could just be tics or mannerisms.
i Have This And idk What To Do ! But i Nod My Head Not Shake it...

OCD and Tourettes can go together and tics can look like OCD.
