A 21-year-old male asked:

I was just wondering if it is likely my children will have a motor tic as i have a undiagnosed tic ( i believe it's from stress and or sleep deprived)?

It is a possibility: Tic disorders can run in families and depending upon the particular diagnosis there can be an increased risk of the tic disorder in the family.
