[|AI|]  Naturally you will be stressed, because the conditions that your doctor has mentioned are rare inherited disorders ----and the fact that your ceruloplasmin level is within normal range unlikely to be Wilson's disease. If your daughter had tics and stiffening, does she have abnormal sounds and uttering words repeatedly. I suggest that you visit a pediatric neurologist. If it is Tourette syn Chat Doctor. You will have to have a group to manage your children needs.including tick management, behavioral management, social support and so on. Yes you are right, You have to confirm your diagnosis before starting treatment and the management has to be comprehensive and multi faceted instead of single medication therapies.
