[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 269841, member: 1550"] I have face blindness and a non-existent visual memory. I've had staring spells all of my life. My twelve year old is complaining that she daydreams a lot and can't pay attention. I"m going to get an EEG on her and me. I've had "soft neurological signs" all my life, since childhood, AND moodswings. I used to complain about "staring spells." Everyone ignored me. I believe I have a mild case of epilepsy that caused MAJOR problems. I wanted to warn parents of kids who tend to have attentional issues that it could be absence seizures (where is Sara when you want her? :raspberry-tounge:). I'll bet epilepsy goes along many times with bipolar, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and other learning disorders. And we don't think to check THAT out. I used to lose a few second's time. I still do sometimes...BUT...I've been on Clonazapen forever. This medication is used as an anti-epileptic as well as anti-anxiety. When I take it (and it's PRN) I feel much more focused and less spacy.) Be sure to check your kids out neurologically. That is NOT the same as having a neuropsychologist evaluation. Both are much needed and two entirely differnet professionals. I recommend both. [/QUOTE]
