      My heart ached as I read your post, our son now 14 was diagosed a year ago June 27th. The absolute helplessness can be daunting, however, as parents of these beautiful children we trudge forward and do whatever it takes to help our kids. They are blessed to have us as their parents. I was obsessed with finding what will take the tics away and as the days, then weeks, then months, now a year has passed I've been able to accept "it is what it is" and my trying to "fix it" and make it go away only broke my heart more for our son and what he must be going through, when all along he was on his own journey of accepting his diagnosis. It stinks, but they are becoming stronger self aware little people through it all. Take care~

      Wow! Sadly it appears that you and I are in the same exact boat and the same stage of trying to accept this. I cried reading your message because it is exactly how I feel and what I live everyday. My son is also 7 and I am sooo at a loss right now. I can't even get him in to see a pediatric neurologist until OCTOBER. I have read so much online, but am still so confused. I am convinced he has Tourettes, although I don't have a diagnosis yet, but I just can not get my mind around the idea of ever accepting it. I am so angry and deeply sad. I wish yours and mine and all others a miraculous cure. I want nothing less. Lara

      Try to hang in there, just do it one day at a time. I know EXACTLY how you feel - sometimes, with all the worrying I do about my son, and all the anxiety that hangs over me all the time, I feel like I am barely existing. And then Jason will do or say something so endearing and I realize that in spite of everything else, he's such a wonderful person. We don't know what will become of our kids, but as long as they have us, they have hope!
