Random Twitching and Jerking - Is it Related to ADHD or Autism?

According to some of my research in academic papers. (I can’t promise I understood them correctly because I do not have my doctorate) motor tics can accompany adhd. When I got diagnosed I started doing research into them because me and my neurologist thought I had seizures and or Tourette’s but my brain activity came back having very small seizure activity that would not explain it and I only got them when I was feeling and emotion strongly so Tourette’s was ruled out. My neurologist just kinda shrugged so I did more research on my own and in a few papers I read tic disorders were more comorbid with ADHD.

when I first start meds, my anxiety always hikes, and I notice I do a lot of those jerking movements. I attribute it to high anxiety and high energy that just needs to be expelled somehow so my body just jerks

If you are on a lot of meds especially ones that are sending lots of dopamine to the brain that can cause tics. But its quite common on medication. I have tourettes and if it's one movement it would not count. But meds can commently cause that just cause its adding more energy to your brain in a way lol

Yea same I get this too, randomly I woukd also out of no where jerk, or my head by itself woukd move either to the left or right side and i feel it coming but cant really stop it that much..

“They're thought to be due to changes in the parts of the brain that control movement. They can run in families, and there's likely to be a genetic cause in many cases. They also often happen alongside other conditions, such as: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)” from www.NHS.uk

It sounds like a med side effect, particularly similar to those of antipsychotics

I get this too its really weird, I have no idea if its related to my adhd or any of my other problems. I also get tremors especially shaking legs idk if that one is from my medication or not I have to start paying attention to if it happens when I don't take it. And I have restless leg syndrome, I know thats not related to the medication.

I've also been trying to find an answer for this. I always believed mine were anxiety induced but as some of them got more violent and as my anxiety meds helped my general anxiety and not the tics, I wondered what is causing it. It is possible for adhd to cause tics but I also take adhd meds so at this point I'm quite confused and wondering if it might be tourettes for me personally. I went a bit off track but basically they could be caused by anything from anxiety, adhd, even possibly autism, and ofc tourettes.
