DS just starting making this noise while he’s talking that seems to take the place of “um” - it’s like a random “yeeit” sound. He does not seem to notice, and I think I’ve read here that I should just ignore it, but wanted to confirm. He has suspected ADHD inattentive type, and it’s been very hot here, plus he is tired. I mention all of these things because they came up as possibly causes when I googled it.
My autistic adhd DS(8) gets tics all.the.time (vocal and physical). H and I have to ignore or they get worse and during school we have to tell his teachers to ignore as well. They go away in time. Sometimes it's after a few weeks and sometimes it's a few months.
Our friend has one from Tourettes. I don't think there is much we can do except ignore it because he can't control it, and it is at the end of every sentence or two.
How old is he? Boys do a lot of weird stuff. I am hoping they mostly figure it out by high school. A number of middle schoolers on the mathcounts team (and not the ones who I know are on behavioral IEPs) do all sorts of random stuff. But it's off hours so as long as nobody's getting hurt or being mean or disruptive when it's time to be quiet, I try to be chill about it.
V (STB 6th grade) has had various quirks that come and go. There was a big step up after 3rd grade but he still does goofy stuff.
Wait ... is it a random "yeeit" sound, or is it the word "yeet"?
Anyway I vote fine/ignore, kids are weird (some of the middle schoolers even will insert "among us" at random points in conversation), they get weirder over the summer break even if they're in structured camps, etc.

My son is 10yo and has ADHD. He has a variety of Tics that come and go. We try and ignore it, as he doesn't notice he is doing it. His became more noticeable around 8yo.
