Are these tics? Need advice.

Is there a warning sign that a tic is occurring? I believe I may have started having tics within the past five months.

That’s exactly how mine go, just shivers down my spine and neck until I do something to get rid of it, mine are so mild I’ve never looked into it I’ve just figured yeah motor tics from my adhd, it’s not like a specific movement I need to do for me it’s just finding which one in the moment like smacking my hands or throwing my neck back is one that happens a lot sometimes I make some kind of squeaking noise completely by accident but never verbal tics like words for me, I tend to not think much about them and just pretend nothing happened lol not address it, if someone looks at me weird I’ll just say it was a tic and move on, sometimes my tics feel internal like I’m moving a muscle in my abdomen no one would ever notice or twitching my leg
