Guest guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 Seven years ago my daughter's respirations arrested during a seizure. The seizure ended, but she never resumed breathing on her own. I had to resuscitate her. Her nuero didn't put any stock in what I described to him. Today I don't think he had a clue. This is important because clearly a third of children diagnosed with autism will develope a seizure disorder. And SUDEP (Sudden Unexplained Death Due to Epilepsy) is an unfortunate and under-informed reality of seizure. It's causes are numerous and unresearched, until now. There's an organization in England, Epilepsy Bereaved, who has funded the first study into this phenomenon. I, with another woman (whose child died as a result of SUDEP) are talking about starting a similiar organization here in the states. Please, if your child has seizure learn CPR yesterday!
