Hello,
Thankyou for your quiry.
Brief..Yes it can be tourette syndrome.
Detailed answer.... As some children tend to be prone to psycological problems,some because of family history and some have unknown cause.From your nephew's history it seems that he is having tourette syndrome.A syndrome in which all these symptoms and sign can happen .This syndrome can be treated with supportive measures by family,class teacher , doctor and counselar.He may needs some medicines to decrease the hyperactivity for example methylphenidate and dextroamphetamine.
Hopefully my answer will be helpfull.
