Hello,
By your history and description, the possibility of tics is more likely. And in juvenile age, the most common cause of tics is undiagnosed stress and anxiety. So better to take him to a psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in his life and start working on its solution. He may need anxiolytic drugs (propranolol and flunarizine combination) too. Don't worry he will be alright with all these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
