Hi Tourette syndrome is a condition that causes uncontrolled sudden, repetitive muscle movements and sounds known as tics.  Two types of tics are associated with Tourette syndrome: Motor tics: These are sudden, apparently uncontrollable movements such as exaggerated eye blinking, grimacing, head jerking, or shoulder shrugging.Vocal tics: These include repeated throat clearing, sniffing, or humming. Tics can be simple or complex: Simple motor tics usually involve just one muscle group, such as eye blinking or grimacing.Complex motor tics usually involve more muscle groups and might look like a series of movements. For example, someone might touch a body part or another person repeatedly. In rare cases, people with Tourette syndrome might have a tic that makes them harm themselves, such as head banging.Simple vocal tics can be throat clearing, sniffing, or grunting.Complex vocal tics can involve calling out, repeating other people's words (a condition called echolalia), or involuntary swearing (called coprolalia). At certain times, like when someone is under stress, the tics can become more severe, happen more often, or last longer. Or the type of tic may change. Some kids can hold back their tics for a short time. But as tension builds, eventually it must be released as a tic. And if a person is concentrating on controlling the tic, it may be hard to focus on anything else. This can make it hard for kids with Tourette syndrome to have a conversation or pay attention in class. The tics associated with Tourette syndrome tend to get milder or go away entirely as kids grow into adulthood. Until that happens, though, parents can help their child cope with the condition.

Thanks for reaching out for help. I hope that your son's condition has been diagnosed by a qualified professional. The tics/muscular movements are the most characteristic  symptoms for tourette syndrome. However, they can also happen due to stress or anxiety independent of the syndrome. If you feel that the tics are happening more frequently, then you can start considering taking medical and therapeutic intervention if you have not  already done so.
