Our school thinks DS8 is having absence seizures. He zones out for a few seconds, then resumes his work.
I used to do exactly the same thing. I've googled, and learned that 70% of absence seizures are outgrown by the time the child is 18. This would fit.
HOWEVER... one of the criteria for it to be a seizure is that the individual is not responsive during the episode, and DS (as was the case with me) is always responsive.
I'm going to take him back to the doctor (yet again! sigh), but meanwhile my question to all of you is...
Is there anyone out there whose child has a EEG confirmed seizure disorder diagnosis with that child being reachable during seizures (i.e. is there such a thing as a "half seizure" ...or something similar).
Thanks
