[QUOTE="slsh, post: 194114, member: 8"] Boo has grand mal seizures that started when he was 10. I suspect he and MIT's son are very similar in terms of abilities, etc. He does not rage at all (thank goodness!). Boo's been on Keppra, Carbatrol (tegretol), and Topamax for years - no difference pre- or post-medications in terms of mood or affect. While my only experience with seizures are with Boo, it simply doesn't compute to me at all that thank you's rages could ever have been seizures. He basically had two kinds of rages - one that had a definite precipitator ("no" or whatever, though not always a terribly rational precipitator) and one that was a slow onset where you could see he was building to a full blown flip out but it was impossible to appease or avoid the rage. In my lay person mind, that negated the possibility of a seizure. I know seizures can be provoked by stimuli but with thank you it was more social interactions than any concrete stimuli like lights or patterns. (Hope that makes sense ;) ). [/QUOTE]
