Abnormal EEG with spikes?? Anyone??

[Guest guest]

Hi there. My son was diagnosed with autism in December of 2005. He is

age 2.9. We had an eeg done in June of 2005 and then in February of

2006. Both have shown some spikes in several regions of the brain, and

slowing mild to moderate on the right. Our ped neurologist isn't

pushing for anti convulsants but has suggested this. I was just

wondering if anyone has been in my situation and if you opted to go

the route of SSRI's anti virals and anti fungals rather than anti

convulsants. Any guidance is much appreciated on or off list.

Thanks!
