Polarbear - thank you. That all makes sense.
It occurred to me this morning that maybe it has been ongoing, but the school has been seeing it as autism rather than seizures, so they've never said the word "seizure" before.
They may not know about the overlap between seizure disorders and ASD so they may have never thought to call it seizures. Once our autism doc weighed in and said that DS doesn't seem to meet the criteria for ASD, the school then had to reframe DS's zoning out behaviour: "well if it's not autism, maybe it's seizures instead" ...meanwhile the behaviour may have been going on for years at school.
Sometimes the schools are harder to figure out than the kids, lol. (sigh)
(And who knows... maybe DS8 actually has both...)
