Hi this is my first time posting on here and was wondering if anybody else had any experience of similar issues. Ds is 3 and has absence seizures and have been told has a generalised epilepsy and photosensitivity. He also has developmental delay effecting mainly speech and fine motor skills. We are awaiting MRI scan, lumbar puncture and blood tests next week to see if there one thing causing all.
He is really contented child and sociable but seems to have real trouble controlling his behaviour in some situations such as at play grps, or when quite stimulated. He gets really pinchy but don't think the intention is to hurt but like he just needs to squeeze like doesn't know what to do with himself! But then other times can just get quite aggressive and behaviour goes wild and it corrulates with either frequent or intense absence seizures (appears to have different types) Can be quite taxing when in company of other children and just doesn't seem to respond to communication, discipline, time out etc on this. Has been on sodium valproate since november but may as well be giving him water for all the effect its had as yet, but neurologist awaitinbg tests before changing meds.
Thanks hope I've not waffled. just wondered if any one had experience or advice on any of this!
