He has come to live with my husband and I on a month-to-month basis. His home life with his parents is very stressful now, and I don&#8217;t know if it will change. I am concerned\u00a0 for his future, I am home schooling him now. He is having a lot of difficulty with staying on task and passing tests. He also has ADHD. The medicine he takes does not get rid of his tics. The school that he had been attending tested him to see at what level his capabilities were and he is as low as you can score before being recognized as being disabled. He is between a rock and a hard place, he struggles so hard with school work, but doesn&#8217;t\u00a0qualify for help academically.<\/p>\n<p>I want to find out more about how his condition will effect his ability to have a happy and productive life. It was my understanding that children in his situation will need micromanagement their whole lives. If anyone can talk to me about this, I would really appreciate it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/njcts.org\/tsparents\/being-a-grandparent-to-a-15-year-old-with-tourette-syndrome-is-a-learning-process\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am writing this post because I didn&#8217;t want to feel alone in my situation.
