are they medicated ?
has it affected their education , do school do anything special for them ?
ds2 has had absence epilepsy for the last 3 years. between myself and the doc we had aggreed not to medicate as it didnt seem to be having ill effects on anything .
since strating high school in september he has been struggling terribly.
we dont know how much is to do with epilepsy and how much is something else i.e add or other
he is regularly having total meltdowns where he is violent and suicidal.
i am trying to get to the bottom of it , camhs are too but they are a bit useless tbh.
i am going in to school soon as they have just labelled him lazy and easily distracted etc
what should they do ? whjat should i do ?
any info at all would be appreciated.
thanx
