Up Close with Upward: Worried in the Car Line
Dear Upward, My child has a disruptive tic that's taking a toll on school life. Other kids make fun of them, and classmates are starting to avoid them. Teachers label them as "disruptive," even though my child feels humiliated and insists they can't control it. We're heartbroken watching their confidence crumble. What should we consider in terms of diagnosis, and what treatments can truly help? Most of all, how do we advocate for understanding so others can show them grace while they work to get better? --Worried in the Car Line
