Hello, my name is Patti and my son's name is Mat. Mat has been labeled with lots of stuff like: Tourette's Syndrome, ADHD, ODD, OCD, Rages, and more. Years later it turns out he just has high Functioing Autism.

This is a list for parents, grandparents, and caregivers of kids with Tourett'e syndrome. Sales people are not welcome. TSparents is ONLY OPEN TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LEARN ABOUT TS. Anyone with any other agenda is not welcome. Post from new members are moderated.

The very best thing about TSparents is when we share our experinces and find one another sayong, "Me too!" You will learn things here that are not found in any text books, things no doctor can tell you. We can offer each other support and share in the constant ups and downs, riding the rollercaoster of raising a kid with Tourette's Syndrome. By sharing our real life experinces we can learn more from one another and feel that we are not alone and our gut instincts were not wrong.

Update: Mat is 17 now and has been diagnosed with High Functioning Autism/ Asperger's at the age of 15. At age 14 he had seizures.

Update: Mat is now 19
