Sensory dysregulation impacts multiple areas within the everyday lives of young people with tic disorders. Although research indicates contextual and emotional factors worsen sensory dysregulation and impact tic expression, there is a paucity of qualitative studies investigating the interplay between sensory experiences and tics in young people.

Tics & Sensory Processing Disorder
Tics can sometimes be common with children who have sensory processing disorder . These involuntary movements or sounds can be disruptive and sometimes difficult to control for both the child and those around them.

Whether sensory dysregulation is linked with co-occurring conditions or associated with greater tic severity, urge severity, or severity of co-occurring conditions in this population is unknown. Characterizing sensory dysregulation in chronic tic disorders may help illustrate the mechanisms underlying development of chronic tic disorders.
