Topics For Discussion
• Tics• What are tics
• The spectrum from simple tics to Tourettes
• Associated features
• Prognosis
• Stereotypies• What are they
• Yes they occur in normal children
• They are also seen in autistic children

What are tics ?
• Simple or complex movements and/or phonations
• Involuntary

![Page 7: Dr Kate Dr Antony Dr Fiona Dr Melanie Gibson Bedggood ... South/Fri_Room6_1638_Shillito - Tics dis… · Dr Kate Gibson Clinical Geneticist Genetic Health Service NZ, Children’s](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081617/6021247a362db029f079d578/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

• Hopping
• Touching
• Biting
• Bending
• Twirling
• Stamping
• Rarely dystonic tics where position is held for a few seconds
![Page 8: Dr Kate Dr Antony Dr Fiona Dr Melanie Gibson Bedggood ... South/Fri_Room6_1638_Shillito - Tics dis… · Dr Kate Gibson Clinical Geneticist Genetic Health Service NZ, Children’s](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081617/6021247a362db029f079d578/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Phonations or vocal tics
• Simple
• Coughing and throat clearing
• Grunting
• Hooting or sniffing
• Complex
• Echolalia
• Palilalia
• Coprolalia
![Page 9: Dr Kate Dr Antony Dr Fiona Dr Melanie Gibson Bedggood ... South/Fri_Room6_1638_Shillito - Tics dis… · Dr Kate Gibson Clinical Geneticist Genetic Health Service NZ, Children’s](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081617/6021247a362db029f079d578/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Tic characteristics
• Most begin between 4-8 yrs of age
• Motor before vocal
• Usually begin in head and neck
• Fluctuate in severity/frequency
• Suggestible
• Increase with stress, anxiety or excitement
• Can be suppressed for short periods
• There is a urge or need to do them
• May be worse when period of relaxation follows attempts too suppress them

Epidemiology
• Very common
• 20-30% primary school children
• 5% parents will recognise a few tics and call them habits
• 1% parents will be troubled by their child’s tics
![Page 11: Dr Kate Dr Antony Dr Fiona Dr Melanie Gibson Bedggood ... South/Fri_Room6_1638_Shillito - Tics dis… · Dr Kate Gibson Clinical Geneticist Genetic Health Service NZ, Children’s](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081617/6021247a362db029f079d578/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Prognosis of tics
• Most have transient tic disorder • Duration < 1 year
• Minority will have chronic tic disorder• Duration > 1 year
• Prognosis probably as for Tourette
![Page 12: Dr Kate Dr Antony Dr Fiona Dr Melanie Gibson Bedggood ... South/Fri_Room6_1638_Shillito - Tics dis… · Dr Kate Gibson Clinical Geneticist Genetic Health Service NZ, Children’s](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081617/6021247a362db029f079d578/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Tourette Syndrome
• Motor and vocal tics for longer than 1 year
• Onset before age 18
• Most onset before age 11
• 10-20% show coprolalia
![Page 13: Dr Kate Dr Antony Dr Fiona Dr Melanie Gibson Bedggood ... South/Fri_Room6_1638_Shillito - Tics dis… · Dr Kate Gibson Clinical Geneticist Genetic Health Service NZ, Children’s](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081617/6021247a362db029f079d578/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Tourette Syndrome prognosis
• Rule of 1/3
• 1/3 disappear by adolescence
• 1/3 better with minimal problems as adult
• 1/3 continue into adulthood
• < 20% consider they are impaired
• ~5% have severe problems

Tourette Syndrome
![Page 15: Dr Kate Dr Antony Dr Fiona Dr Melanie Gibson Bedggood ... South/Fri_Room6_1638_Shillito - Tics dis… · Dr Kate Gibson Clinical Geneticist Genetic Health Service NZ, Children’s](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081617/6021247a362db029f079d578/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Comorbidities of chronic tic and Tourette syndrome
• Occur in ~ 80 %
• ADHD
• Anxiety
• OCD
• Specific learning disability
• Most adults consider the comorbidities to be worse than the tics
![Page 16: Dr Kate Dr Antony Dr Fiona Dr Melanie Gibson Bedggood ... South/Fri_Room6_1638_Shillito - Tics dis… · Dr Kate Gibson Clinical Geneticist Genetic Health Service NZ, Children’s](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081617/6021247a362db029f079d578/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Treatment
• Reasurrance
• Look for and treat comorbidities
• Anxiey and OCD
• Behavioural modification
• Fluoxetine
• ADHD
• Stimulants work but may make tics worse
• Clonidine less effective but may help tics
![Page 17: Dr Kate Dr Antony Dr Fiona Dr Melanie Gibson Bedggood ... South/Fri_Room6_1638_Shillito - Tics dis… · Dr Kate Gibson Clinical Geneticist Genetic Health Service NZ, Children’s](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081617/6021247a362db029f079d578/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

• Found as part of autism• Never the sole manifestation of ASD
• No drug treatments
