It is possible for a child with Autism to develop seizures (similar to a child with any other developmental delay). If the child with Autism has
- Recurrent episodes where he/she has loss of consciousness or alertness
- Each episode looks similar to the last one – a certain trend or stereotypy of symptoms
- Motor challenges (jerking of limbs, falling down, tightening or stiffening of limbs)
These are indicative of a seizure episode.
