Seanr53 I found your post really interesting. My son is now almost 16 1/2 months and nureo and specialists are still looking into what is causing his seizures, sometimes strange behaviour and other issues. His seizures now can be longer or as the nureo says he is walking in a cloud a lot longer after, sometimes though not even being able to walk. He has weeks where they are every day or even more frequent then he only has small shakes, vague outs etc for awhile then they are back again. We are seeing metabolic specialist next week and then MRI july 13th. Everyone knows my son is not quite right but as of yet can't work out whats going on. We keep getting told time will tell us and then nureo said we will look back and we will see the early signs. It is such a journey but all want is to be able to help my little man develop to his full potential. Thanks again for your post.
Generally speaking, autism is diagnosed first, and epilepsy develops later, rather than the other way around.
