absense seizures and gelastic seizures

[Guest guest]

I read a post on a chelating-kids site where the mother had her 5-year

old, developmentally delayed child with autism tested by a pediatric

neurologist...here is an excerpt:

" We finally had an EEG done today and it turns out that our daughter

has been having seizures all along...gelastic (they are called

,laughing seizures..at times rolling the eyes upward and then

laughing) and absence seizures (staring into space and not aware of

others) "

Anyone have experience with these types of seizure episodes in their

child? Please discuss....thanks
