Tic Disorder DSM criteria?
1. Both multiple motor and one or more vocal tics have been present at some time during the illness, although not necessarily concurrently. (A tic is a sudden, rapid, recurrent, nonrhythmic, stereotyped motor movement or vocalization.)
2. The tics occur many times a day (usually in bouts) nearly every day or intermittently throughout a period of more than 1 year, and during this period there was never a tic-free period of more than 3 consecutive months.
3. The onset is before age 18 years.
4. The disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., stimulants) or a general medical condition (e.g., Huntington's disease or postviral encephalitis).
Chronic Motor or Vocal Tic?
1. Single or multiple motor or vocal tics (i.e., sudden, rapid, recurrent, nonrhythmic, stereotyped motor movements or vocalizations), but not both, have been present at some time during the illness.
2. The tics occur many times a day nearly every day or intermittently throughout a period of more than 1 year, and during this period there was never a tic-free period of more than 3 consecutive months.
3. The onset is before age 18 years.
4. The disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., stimulants) or a general medical condition (e.g., Huntington's disease or postviral encephalitis).
5. Criteria have never been met for Tourette's disorder.
Transient Tic Disorder
1. Single or multiple motor and/or vocal tics (i.e., sudden, rapid, recurrent, nonrhythmic, stereotyped motor movements or vocalizations)
2. The tics occur many times a day, nearly every day for at least 4 weeks, but for no longer than 12 consecutive months.
3. The onset is before age 18 years.
4. The disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., stimulants) or a general medical condition (e.g., Huntington's disease or postviral encephalitis).
5. Criteria have never been met for Tourette's Disorder or Chronic Motor or Vocal Tic Disorder.

Which comes first usually, bowel or bladder control?
The ability to have muscular control over the bowel occurs even before bladder control for most toddlers
The normal sequence of developing control over bowel and bladder functions is the development of

diurnal fecal continence,
diurnal bladder control, and
nocturnal bladder control.
These disorders are considered after age ? years, for encopresis, and after age ? years for enuresis, when a child is chronologically, developmentally, and physiologically expected to be able to master these skills.
