DS2, ASD age 12, fainted at school today, hit his head and had a fit. He came around after 30 seconds or so and was shaky and very hot with dilated pupils. He seemed pretty much back to normal after 30 minutes when I got to school. I was told to take him to the doctor but the doctor said to go straight to A & E!
After 2 1/2 hours ( not good at waiting) the doctor at A & E couldn't tell me much. It may have been an epileptic seizure, it may have been some other sort of fit (can't remember the terminology) to do with lack of blood to the brain due to the faint. He isn't poorly, his temperature is normal. He's never fainted before. They have just said keep an eye on him, if it happens again they'll do EEGs and blood tests.
Now I don't know whether I can leave him alone in the house for any length of time and it's bloody impossible now that it's just me at home. He's going to have a smashing black eye. Any advice or hand holding gratefully received.
