OT:Television and Seizures

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Has anyone ever noticed a connection to television watching and

spaciness? I'm beginning to think my 3 1/2 year old is being

affected by watching television. I used to think he was just tired

or hungry, but I definitely see an increase in his spaciness for

several hours after watching television. I'm worried what might be

occurring in the brain since I know over 1000 children in Japan had

seizures after watching a Pokemon episode. Also, has anyone ever

heard of " silent seizures " ? I recently met a mom of a 7 yr. old

autistic child who claims her son has these. What are they and are

they dangerous?
