My 14 yr old Daughter has both also. However,her Tourettes is mild and as she gets older we see it less and less. We were reluctant to put her on a stimulant med until 8th grade. While she is no A student, she is able to focus more. It's actually her test taking skills that stink. Anyway, she did not increase in her tourettes as far as being on the meds. Infact we see less. Talk with a Pediatric Neurologist. They will be able to really help your sons needs.
