I work in table games at a casino, one of my floor supervisors has a daughter with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome. I was shuffling cards and she saw me have an absence seizure. I was shuffling cards, I stopped, I looked up, didn't move for a few seconds, and when I looked back down I reshuffled the cards. Since there's no post-ictal phase and I'm not aware of them I have no idea how long I've been having them or how many I've having. My boyfriend said I have a tendency to stop talking mid-sentence for a little while before picking back up again but he always thought I was thinking about was I was going to say next. We went through some videos on youtube of the kids having absence seizures and despite my history and experience with epilepsy I thought some of them were hard to spot.
Do those of y'all who have absence seizures ever have experiences that make you question if you may have just had an absence seizure?
Where is a good place to find information about absence seizures occurring in adults? I'm almost 26 so it's not like this is something I'm going to grow out of.
