Focal seizures mean that convulsions or fits do not involve the whole body but only a part of it e.g. one arm or one leg or facial twitchings, etc. Usually they are not associated with loss of consciousness. MRI only tells us that the brain is normal structurally. EEG may be able to tell us whether there is any abnormal discharge from the brain responsible for convulsions. If the child is seizure free for 2-3 years, is neurologically normal and EEG is normal then gradually anticonvulsants can be taken off and most of the children will not have recurrence of seizures. Meningitis at 2 months could be the cause of seizures and abnormal neurological behaviour. I don't think forceps delivery can cause autism.
