Hi, I am having a problem with my 6 yr old DS. He has always been a demanding at home but well behaved at school and suffers from occasional bouts of ketotic hypoglycaemia. During the last 2 months we have been called to school on many occasions because he has been disruptive, rude, walked out of lessons or locked himself in the loo. His behaviour has steadily deteriorated, he has refused to eat lunch in the dining hall, refused to go out for breaks or join in lessons. Classrooms have been trashed, furniture pushed out and objects thrown, some of the destruction is done in a fit of rage, some in a controlled and systematic fashion. Teachers and children have been hit, kicked and sworn at, he has spent the last couple of days on the playground or running up and down the corridors disrupting other classes. My DH and I have spent time in school with him, taking time off work to do so and he has been assigned a one to one key worker. He has had to be restrained several times. His behaviour has spilled over at home and I and DH have been physically and verbally abused. Last week, out of the blue, DS had a seizure. He has had them before but always linked to a hypoglycaemic attack. This time his sugar levels were normal and he had been fine 5 minutes earlier. We are trying to get help via the SENCO and the Dr etc, but there are so many obstacles in the way and CAMHS have refused to assess him saying he is too young. The Dr has said that the behaviour might be linked to the onset of epilepsy and has prescribed Carbamazepine to hopefully moderate his behaviour and stop any further seizures. Has anyone tried this? Does it work? Is it safe? Can Epilepsy really cause such extreme bad behaviour? My intuition tells me that there is something else going on with DS.
