Simple Motor Tic04/08/2008 |
My oldest son has a simple motor tic (eye rolling), is it likely that his two younger brothers will also develop a tic?
Simple tics as you describe are quite common in childhood (10% of the population) the likelihood that younger siblings will also develop a tic while increased above the general population is still exceedingly low.
