NEXT TIME YOU WITNESS IT, TAKE HER STRAIGHT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM SO THEY CAN OBSERVE AND RUN TESTS. ALSO IF YOU HAVE A VIDEO CAMERA TRY AND VIDEO TAPE THE BEHAVIOR FOR DOCTOR AS LONG AS YOU KNOW SHE IS NOT IN DISTRESS - as in breathing okay, heart beating ok, not choking, etc. OTHERWISE CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY IF THIS EVER HAPPENS) ASK ER DOCTOR TO ADMIT HER TO HOSPITAL AND DO A 24 to 48 OBSERVATION IN A CAMERA ROOM WHILE HOOKED UP TO EEG.
My 4 yr old son was diagnosed with seizure disorder 7/2012. Genetic and metabolic work-up turned out negative. MRI did show cortical dysplasia, Left Temporal Lobe. We've done monotherapy with Trileptal and failed, and have recently added Keppra on the regimen. So far, he hasn't had his night time seizures but he has these episode in the morning where he gets startled, starts grunting, his arms gets stif; it lasts just a few seconds so I could never get a video of it.
My son has autism is 17 and has had some strange problems lately in the last 8 months. He got up and fell back down on the couch the other day. He looked dizzy. He is having inconsolable crying about once a week and saying "eyes, eyes" and wanting an icepack for them. This lasts about 30 minutes an episode. He also started wetting the bed and having urinary accidents occasionally after about 13 years with complete toilet training.
I have been quite concerned for some time about my recently two year old daughter's hand flapping accompanied by wide eyes, mouth in O formation. Sorry, this is my best way to describe. She does this usually whn excited, but I have noticed during the bath, during diaper changes. She just seems stuck for a few seconds where she flaps her hand and if sitting will stiffen her legs. Her face has a very "surprised" look.
Autism has also been linked to people with a history of Epilepsy and other seizure disorders. A woman with Epilepsy will have a chance to conceive a child with Autism. Other things such as environmental, auto immune, nervous system disorders, and certain genetic disorders such as downs syndrome have all been linked to Autism.

My daughter has been diagnosed with complex partial disorder, high functioning autism, etc. In the past couple of days she has had uncontrollable muscle twitching all over her body. It is not at the same time. It is as if her muscles take turns, but it is one after the other. It is very odd to watch. Most of the twitching is taking place in the backbone and knees. It also takes place in her arms and legs or just all over. She says it hurts her shoulders sometimes.
My 16 year old brother has started to poop his pants. He's never done this before and he try's to hide it. My mom confronted him about it and he told her that he was playing a video game and didn't feel like going to the bathroom, so he just pooped I. His pants. My mom told his psychiatrist, and she said its because of his autism. I'm having a hard time believing that though. I'm also autistic, and I don't poop my pants. My brother also has Tourette's.
Hello.
You have done a good job by bringing this to the forum. There is a possibility of a partial seizure. But you should also consider something called as eye tics. These are not so uncommon in infants.
You may need to get an EEG done. A video EEG is preferred. It has the advantage of letting us see the brain waves during such an episode or up rolling of eyes.
Did he have any significant birth complications?
My pediatrician believes my 3-year old had a seizure recently, but we have to wait several weeks to get into the neurologist's office to have an EEG. She also is diagnosed with mild atypical autism.
I was walking with her holding her hand, and she suddenly became completely limp. Her knees dropped to the ground and I could barely lift her.
I have a 5 yr old with Autism. His primary care physician has him on Risperidone but I don't think its helping him. He has alot of outburts daily and he doesn't talk. I want to know if there is any other medication out there to help my son. I was told that he might need Retlin. Please help.
comes up and touches me all the time he also claps his hands. He usually does this alot when he is playing those video games.Is is Adhd meds working? I dont think so. He takes 10mg in morning & 10mg at night!
i took to pedi and he said to take my nephew to a neurologist. mentioned this could be autism or seizures. however, he shows no ther signs of autism. he had a problem 1 year ago after a vaccine that he started blinking uncontrolled for a full day. the pedi said this was ok. the vaccine was hep b, flu shot and chicken px vaccine all done together. please let me know your thoughts on this.
It does not sound like he is having a seizure, although some children with autism do suffer from seizure disorder. We also got our DD a service dog who helps calm her when she is upset. He has been a life saver.
Generally you get a diagnosis from a developmental pediatrician, so my suggestion is to speak to this doctor about your concerns and they will point you in the right direction from there. Is your son receiving speech and occupational therapy?
Ari is 27 months. She was born 1.11 oz at 27 weeks...tons of stuff happening from then.. fast forward. She now crys for EVERTHING from 24 months on.... whether she gets it or not. Does not understuand 'No' at all. must have certain cup, must have certain video, must have certain book, must go outside certain at specific hour.
She understands 'normal' requests .. go to your room,, take it to to trash, take it to kitchen, let's go outside, get your shoes, take bath.. etc..
Is this common for toddlers or something is wrong. I was recently reading one article on Autism and her vomiting symptoms seems familiar but other symptoms of autism never has appeared in her. Without the 'breakfast' & 'snacks', everything is normal to her.
Under certain circumstances this can precipitate an actual epileptic seizure. Or a medical condition somewhat short of a complete seizure. The same thing can happen from the flickering of sun through an aircraft propeller blade. Certain animations and CRT configurations exacerbate this phenomena. The "flicker" affects the brain. How exactly a seizure is induce is not clear. This medical problem has been well-documented and researched.
My husband is 30 and yesterday had a severe seizure. His body tensed up, and his eyes rolled in the back of his head and then he started compulsiving and spitting up. I believe this was a seizure. After wards he became very combative and was very confused. He doesn't remember the seizure at all. The doctor said that it was due to substances abuse.
