Question

Could unintentional tremors, squinting eyes, and stretching necks in children be symptoms of tic disorders?

Answer

Possibly. Tic disorders typically start with mild symptoms, usually beginning with eye and facial twitches. As the condition progresses, twitches can spread from the head to the neck, shoulders, arms, legs, and trunk, resulting in motor tics in multiple body parts. Over time, if the condition is not effectively controlled, children may also exhibit uncontrollable movements such as poking and spinning while walking.
