Breathing tic

A tic involving movements of the throat and/or diaphragm causing interrupted or abnormal breathing. These are sometimes counted as vocal tics and sometimes as motor tics. These are REAL struggles kids have to go through, they are not to be made fun of because the can't even help it. Imitating a tics in front of a kid with tics, might make it worse so be careful.
