DS is 8 and has ASD and goes to an MLD school. He is very resistant to change, for example, he hasn't worn a coat for the last 4 years as he can't cope with items that don't stay on all the time. In the snow he just wears a sweatshirt and joggers, no coat, hat, gloves or welly's
Anyhoo...we have thought he has a nighttime epilepsy for years now. His older brother and cousin have a hereditary form too.
Last night I filmed a seizure which I haven't managed to do before.
I want him to get a diagnosis and look into medication (brother and niece unmediated as don't need it) as he often vomits during his seizures and I'm worried that he might choke.
But (and sorry for the long post) how do I get this change resistant little guy to have electrodes stuck to his head? Anyone got any top tips?
