Who has a sibling? Who has a sibling that annoys them half the time? Okay, less common, who has a sibling with ADHD? Well that is me and my twin brother to the max. My brother, Coy, has motor tic disorder. He’s like everyone else, but has spurts of hyperness. Motor tic disorder is often mistaken for ADHD, so we usually just tell people he has ADHD. His motor tic disorder does not affect him very much, but he takes ADHD medication to help his symptoms. We call it his chill pills. Because this “disorder” doesn’t affect him, and sometimes the world doesn’t seem to get that, I want to explain his motor tic in a way that everyone can understand. People never seem to know what I am talking about when my family talks about Coy’s motor tic disorder, so think of it this way, Coy is …show more content…
Inline hockey and baseball were his energy outlets of choice. Go back to thinking about that one time that computer game got you worked up. When you probably got so excited moving the mouse at one point you picked it up and put it back down. That’s coy on his skates, picking up one leg after another. You probably also swung the mouse around really quick. That’s Coy swinging his bat for another homer. When you move that mouse around on that pad, it helps the clicking process. You can’t mine the craft with your cursor in the bottle corner, can you? Actually, you may be able to. I don’t know, but you get the point. Being active helps Coy’s tic process. I hope now you guys can realize that my brother having motor tic disorder doesn’t affect his life, it just influences it. It makes him more active, and sometimes more annoying. Medication helps ease his desire to blink, but he is the same tall, “eat everything in the fridge”, “put you in a headlock” kinda brother that everyone else has. He moves around a lot. He tics, and he clicks. And he double clicks when he’s excited, just like everyone else. Motor tic disorder is as simple as clicking a

Tryouts can be seen as a way to tell kids that they’re not good enough to play the sport or they see tryouts as an effect to kids health. Still there are these who would claim that yet, there are those who disagree because it would be too chaotic, it teaches life lessons, and tryouts are an exercise in many sort of ways. Normally kids don’t get the chance to play but it teaches them to keep trying. While tryouts might have a mislead along the kids, there are those who think that there should be tryouts to many sports and schools. One reason that there should be tryouts for many types of sports is that it teaches life lessons in a countless amount of ways.
In the documentary Looking for Me, viewers follow the work of Janet Adler and how she used dance/movement therapy (DMT) with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Children with ASD may struggle with language development, and some may be completely nonverbal (Folstein & Rosen-Sheidley, 2001 as cited in Scharoun et al., 2014). Other characteristics of ASD are lack of eye contact, difficulty with picking up social cues, and engagement in repetitive behaviors (Scharoun et al., 2014). As for movement, children with ASD have difficulty "planning, organizing, and coordinating movements" (Glazebook, Elliott, & Szatarmi, 2008 as cited in Scharoun et al., 2014, p. 212). That is why children with ASD benefit from DMT.
His expressive language is limited to single-word requests for preferred reinforcers. Parent concerns include Jacob’s engagement in aggression in the way of hitting, kicking, and scratching his parents when demands are placed on him in the way of structured sessions aimed at increasing his use of expressive language; as well as increasing his expressive language. Jacob, when met with a new word, or completing a few trials of known words, engages in aggressive behavior directed towards the parent issuing the demand. In response to this behavior, parents frequently stop lessons and allow him to play and escape the demand. Interactions between Jacob and his parents have resulted in several scratches to the faces and arms of the parents, as well as bruises to Jacob’s arms.
This disease, also known as “shaking palsy,” is a common disorder that affects the central nervous system, which comprises a person’s brain and spinal cord (Abramovitz 13).

Do you want to have major health problems? Would you like to sit and watch yourself Die slowly? If you continue with a high intake of fructose, It may as well happen.

Imagine yourself going about your daily activities when all of a sudden you lose control over your body movements and speech, and you suddenly have urges to shout vulgar words, to jump as high as you can, or twitch your eyes for no apparent reason. This is what a person with Tourette's Syndrome deals with every day on a regular basis. Tourette Syndrome also known as Tourette’s is a nervous system disorder involving the repetition of unwanted movements and auditory outbursts also known as tics. Tics are classified based on being either motor or phonic, and simple or complex, and as their name suggests the different classifications of tics all come in different shapes or forms. Not only this but despite there being no found reason for the causes of Tourette's it has been known to be more prevalent in males rather than females.
Similarly, the prevalence of the active (29.51%) and passive (36.07%) strategies were low, with a preference for the passive regulatory strategy (figure 4.18). The low prevalence (less than 50%) of the passive pattern found in this study did not correlate with the literature, which indicated that children with spasticity are more likely to be passive.69 The passive strategy is comprised of both the registration and sensitivity patterns. The spastic diplegic subtype presented with a high prevalence of registration difficulties, but a low prevalence of sensitivity. The lower incidence of sensitivity patterns, therefore, influences the frequency of overall passive responses.
