» Sandy45 - My son and Tourettes

I have been told by a few friends that my son may have tourettes as well as ADHD. I'm not sure what to do he has had a lot of trouble in school as well as home. In school he has been suspended for a day for hitting a teacher. he has such symptoms as repeating the same thin several times then gets aggravated because he cant finish, hits himself,and talking to himself. I am not sure what to do at this point because there are times when we are out like at his wrestling match on Sunday he did not want to be touched so he screamed and flailed his arms around out on the mat. After that he was told to sit until he calmed down then he would be able to wrestle. if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.. thank you.
