Hi @spankiee, thanks for sharing this. I'm afraid this may not be something we can answer here on the community as we're not medical professionals, however some of our members may be able to offer suggestions regardless. 

In the meantime, I wonder whether Tourette's Action would be worth getting in touch with, to see if they can offer any suggestions?
