DS2 (ASD) 13 yo fainted and seemed to have a seizure 18 months ago. He had a 24 hour ECG with no problems and had just been signed off by his paed and epilepsy nurse.
He just fainted again. This time I was with him. He had just got out of the (rather hot ) bath, was standing while I wrapping him up in his towel. He was talking to me about how to avoid school tomorrow then slumped to the floor, banging his mouth on the sink. Once on the floor he was mumbling, had his eyes open but wasn't with me, IYSWIM. Within 5 to 10 seconds his eyes focused and he asked what was going on. He was right as rain within minutes, but I kept him lying down for a bit.
If it wasn't for the fact that he carried on talking nonsense throughout I would have said it was a classic faint, got up from the over hot bath too quickly. But I have been googling faints and talking and nothing is coming up. Talking during a seizure seems more common. He doesn't remember falling or hitting his mouth or what he was saying while not conscious.
Any ideas? I'll be contacting the epilepsy nurse ASAP, but in the meantime?
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
