Both have comparable symptoms and commorbidities. My spouse and our youngest child have Asperger's. Our oldest child and I have Tourette.

We were diagnosed after our children.

I have heard of tremendous success for children with tourette's syndrome and ASD using the Son-Rise method. www.autismtreatmentcenter.org. This is the social/communicative apporoach. Oftentimes, when we put the focus on behaviors and giving out rewards and consequences, it creates more anxiety. This program is about decreasing your child's anxiety and taking an approach that removes distractions to learning, it takes the things that cause anxiety out of the way so your child can focus on building connections to people that he will be able to learn to understand the world through. We love it! Even with tourettes, when you help the anxiety - its going to decrease those issues.
