Silently Seizing: Common, Unrecognized and Frequently Missed Seizures and Their Potentially Damaging Impact on Individuals With Autism Spectrum ... Essential Guide for Parents and Professionals

National Parenting Products Award (NAPPA) Award Winner! Up to 30% of all children have undiagnosed seizure disorders because they are difficult to diagnose due to a lack of awareness and understanding. Caren Haines, with renowned behavioral child neurologist Nancy Minshew, MD, is determined to change that. At age two, author Caren Haines' son was diagnosed with autism. By the time he was twelve, his diagnosis didn't account for his uncontrollable aggression, the acrid smells that lingered in his mind, and the odd voices that screamed at him from inside his head. By the time he was eighteen, his out-of-control behavior mirrored a mood disorder with psychotic features. Silently Seizing: Common, Unrecognized and Frequently Missed Seizures and Their Potentially Damaging Impact on Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorders - An Essential Guide for Parents and Professionals begins with a close-up look at this family's journey and examines a disorder that cannot always be identified in a clinical setting. Intersecting at two medical sub-specialties, neurology and psychiatry, the child who has autism and partial seizures is at a serious disadvantage. By inadvertently allowing children's brains to silently seize, we are robbing children of their ability to function well. When treated early with anti-seizure medications, many children show amazing gains in expressive language and comprehension. Many begin to speak and learn as many troubling behaviors begin to disappear. Backed by up-to-the-minute research, this must-read book includes sections on what autism is, the seizure-autism connection, and tips for diagnosing and treating seizures, as well as how to better understand children's behavior.
