CMS V TICS

 A

Comparison of Complex Motor Stereotypies (CMS) vs. Tics

Feature	Complex Motor Stereotypies (CMS)	Tics
Age of Onset	Early childhood (before age 3)	Typically 5–7 years old
Movement Type	Rhythmic, repetitive, coordinated	Sudden, brief, non-rhythmic
Common Examples	Hand flapping, finger wiggling, body rocking	Eye blinking, throat clearing, head jerking
Triggers	Excitement, stress, boredom	Often random, can be worsened by stress or fatigue
Voluntary Suppression	Yes, but difficult for long periods	Yes, but with increasing discomfort (premonitory urge)
Premonitory Sensation	Absent	Present (urge to perform the tic)
Progression Over Time	Typically stable, may decrease with age	Can change in type, frequency, or severity
Association with Other Disorders	Often in neurotypical children, but also seen in ASD, ADHD	Frequently linked to Tourette syndrome, OCD, ADHD
Treatment Needed?	Usually not required unless disruptive	Often improves with time; therapy or meds if severe

CMS tends to be early-onset, rhythmic, and stimulus-driven, while tics are sudden, brief, and linked to an internal urge. 🚀

Federico shares to go into a deeper reality where time and space emerges from Consciousness. The other,, the observer effects the observed. The observer, the observed and actor are one. Great explaining story of the One knowing itself. Loved how the Tao.. is like Quantum Physics .. the delightufl uncertainty.
