Well here we are, been a while.
Chris is doing really well at the moment, We have started Chris on Quetiapine (Seroquel), and this as helped with his mood swings and also his Tics. Chris is back at school 2 hours a day - 3 days a week with a teacher aid and actually enjoying it. We are hoping to increase these hours over time. We have taken him of the Concerta, so currently he is on Fluxotine and Quetiapine and this combination is working a treat. He is now starting to go to friends houses again and just generally feeling a lot happier and more stable. His school is fantastic and his teacher is awesome and Chris really likes him.
Chris is also going to respite fortnightly for a day and loves his caregivers. As he said it is his other family :).
We are still waiting to hear on the High and Complex Needs, hopefully soon.
Anyway just a quick update catch you all soon :)

My son was diagnosed this past summer with Complex Tic Disorder (a milder form of Tourette Syndrome) along with OCD and ADD. It was quite a saga to figure out what exactly was going with him. His teachers and doctors suspected a host of things before we got some real answers and hope.
I was very relieved to stumble upon your blog and to know that we are not alone in our struggles. I have linked you to my blog so that I can return again and again. Thank you for your candor and honesty in your experiences. Best wishes and take care!
