stand up for your child to the interns. They think they know everything...when they dont. So, they can really upset you badly. I learned to ignore them and only talk to my son's specialists.  If you don't like the answers or run around you are getting, ask questions. Go over and beyond their heads. Or seek a different doctor or specialist. You know your child/children best. Listen to your instinct. Lastly, I'm not a doctor and not diagnosing anyone's children. Just giving you a possible place to start researching. And again, not all absence seizures just stare. You will read that if you research Abscence seizure. The Content on this Site is presented in a summary fashion, and is intended to be used for educational and entertainment purposes only.
