Autism

Our son who is 11, nearly 12, has autism. Last September he had a major seizure at his school (Tonic Clonic seizure) and was rushed to hospital, he was very sick. He went back to school ok for a few weeks but then started to vomit again and again over the next few months until present.

He is very lethargic, drowsy and pale. Yesterday I brought him back from school as he had been sick yet again. Our family doctor does not think its a virus or anaemia and he wants our son to have a brain scan and EEG to rule out anything in the brain or epilepsy.

We are so worried about him, although he remains cheerful at times, he is so very tired and just not his usual self at all.

I haven't posted on PC for a long long time and just wanted to share my concerns with you all.

I feel for you and your son. Make sure you take care of yourself too
my son has pdd,
I will say a prayer for your son

Thank you Muffy, that's very kind. Best wishes to you and your son too.
Since I picked up my son from school on Thursday he has perked up alot! Mmmmm....he has extreme anxiety at school and this could be a case of cyclical vomiting going on due to the stress, but of course we need to rule out anything underlying.

I just hope and pray that they find nothing and it is just purely stress related, then we will decide what to do about his schooling then.
