[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 9012, member: 1498"] Temporal lobe seizures are detected by EEG's 50% of the time. They can rule in but they can't rule out TLE. With your history and the symptoms you are describing I would very seriously consider that your child is having partial seizures. A partial seizure (or localized short circuit) can cause the body to do just about anything it can do, including unprovoked emotional outbursts, voiding (pee, poop or vomit), spacing out (not just absence seizures but longer ones), tic like movements. If you can associate an increase in these behaviors with his taking stims (or antipsychotics), then you really have a red flag for partial seizure activity with your family history.
