Don't worry about how your father is reacting right now.. tourettes is nothing to be ashamed of.
The parents of ppl with Tourette's don't necesserely know.
My family doesn't. My family have a "tic reducing" effect on me, so I don't tic all that often in front of them. My Tourette also started to get more obvious very late, in my late teens. But from time to time my tics are obvious even to my family but those are convinced that I suffer from magnesium sufficiency. I told them once, I've tics but they believed their theory is right. So I didn't argue about it.

I can see how your family may be able to miss the signs though if your tics aren't as frequent in front of them so thank you for that - it wasn't something i'd considered.
Best not to argue, they'll come around (or not) in their own time.. i don't have aspergers according to mine, there's no such thing
