While TSC impacts everyone differently, research analyzing TAND Checklist data identified seven natural clusters of TAND manifestations, as well as a wraparound psychosocial cluster. As stated above in the core principles, TAND clusters cluster together and the presence of one should alert families and teams to explore others.
Click the clusters below to learn more about each cluster and the consensus recommendations for identification and treatment.
- Autism–like behavior
- Dysregulated behavior
- Eat/Sleep
- Mood/Anxiety
- Neuropsychological
- Overactive/Impulsive
- Scholastic
- Wraparound Psychosocial
Ultimately, those with TSC are not defined by their challenges, difficulties and disabilities. Each person with TSC brings their own skills, talents, and personality that brings great pleasures, enrichment and meaning to the lives of those around them.
