Tics: Hi your age is listed as 33. I wonder if you are asking about a child (?) it is fairly common for people with pdd to have some tics (habit movements and noises) these are very common in kids, even without pdd. Usually kids outgrow them in puberty, some don't tourette syndrome is the 'label' we give when vocal and motor tics persist for > 6 months some meds increase tics-eg stimulants for add.
