[QUOTE="canadianmom1, post: 36928, member: 3667"] Garrett's seizures stem from his tmperal lobe. I can tell when he is having a seizure and when it's something else. Whn he is having a seizure he starts staring off and if his bahavour changs his eyes are totally glassed over. So far we have seen a neurologist (since he was 2) family dr phsycologist Autism has ben totally ruled out. He does have sensory intragtion disfunction. That is getting better as he gets older. His temper and outbursts are increasing. His new thing right now is kind of silly.. He keeps throwing out his socks and underpants. He told my husband that I wouldn't wash them and that he had the same pair on for 2 weeks. Thank goodness hubby got smart to that game very fast. He also carved swear words in my buffet. He causes fights with his older sister. We just had to take all her pageant crowns and awards out of her room because he decided that he wanted to break them. He is very good at school until I pick him up, then he has a mini explosion in the car. We are learning to ignore what he says and just calm him down. I also have him in a youth bowling team that he just loves. This summer he is playing baseball and tennis. He loves both sports. I also put him in Cub Scouts to keep him to learn more skills and work with others. He loves it. Our only problem with that is th camps. He does amazingly well while there and we know he is having a good time but once he gets home he is out of controle and says he had a horrible time. Says that the kids picked on him and that he didn't get to do anything. We are slowly learning to ignore it... I think that we are going to let the dr put him back on Topamax and see how it goes. He is not really having seizures anymore. I am just so thank ful that I have my husband here as backup as well.. He normally works long hours and can be away a few days at a time but since Garrett started acting out more he has been home weekends so I can do things with our daughter and I can get a break [/QUOTE]
