So I started having tics two years ago arm and neck movement and whistling and then they have come and gone every few months since but over the past month they have been getting worse particularly in noisy environments but I can sort of supress them but that then makes them worse later on. The amount of tics I do has increased too. I have told my parents but am worried that they will think it's not severe enough because they don't always happen?

Tourette’s is a spectrum so it can be either mild or severe,it depends really
I have explained to them fully its more about my own doubt because I see people with Tourettes who have it really bad and I don't know if there is a certain level of severity even if I have at least two motor and one vocal tic for over two years
I have that as well. To get diagnosed with tourettes, you need to have 2 vocal and a motor tic both which need to be persistent for more than a year. Tell your parents the truth and explain everything- maybe they'll understand?
