Posting this for my own reference…makes it easier to find and people have been asking me about it.?? There are many lists out there.?? This one came from:?? http:\/\/tourettenowwhat.tripod.com\/all_about_tics.htm<\/p>\n
When you read these lists, don’t get too concerned if you identify with a lot on the list because many of these items are easy habits that are not “tics”.?? It’s when you do them often (very often), often in repetition, aren’t aware you are doing them, have a compulsive urge to do them that is hard to fight or can’t fight, or you “feel” them coming on.?? By the way…I just made that list of “whens” up but it is a generally summary of stuff I have read differentiating tics from other things.<\/p>\n
