: Wouldn't call it that or use it as an excuse. The kids afflicted by this variable disorder emerge with symptoms as early as 4-6 and are fully involved before the teen years. I would certainly get evaluated. A few months learning stress management skills may get you into a better setting.

A little more than a week after my concussion I developed a kinda violent head shaking tic from my Tourettes (not acquired from concussion). Im wondering if my head shaking tic could increase my chance of post concussion syndrome?
