24 hour eeg

[Guest guest]

After reading an article published in the Advocate magazine on adolescence

and autism, I think my daughter may be suffering from seizures brought on by

puberty. She meets the 3 criteria of what Dr. Edelson states as possible signs

of seizure activity: 1. Exhibiting behaviors problems, such as aggression,

self-injury, and severe tantrums; 2. Making little or no academic gains after

doing well during childhood; and 3. Losing some behavioral and/or cognitive

gains.

I am contacting my daughter's neurologists about having a 24 EEG done to

check for this seizure possibility. Has anyone on this list have their child go

through this procedure? My daughter has had the typical 2 hour ones done over

the years, but never an overnight test. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
