When i bite down on my tongue for a bit it's starts to spasm (twitch) for a while is that normal worried about als ?

Not ALS: There is no need to bite your tongue. Tongue twitching in ALS, when it occurs at all, is constant, during sleep, during wakefulness, during biting and during relaxation. There is no need to think about ALS here.
