Autism and Seizures - where do i find information on seizures and neurologists.?


I am the parent of a old son with autism in his early twenties. He has had two seizures recently; of differing types - the first a grand mal - the second was very mild. I am looking for information on seizures in autistic young adults. I also need to find a neurologist or clinic in the area that understands autism and has experience dealing with their neurological issues. Does anyone have any information that can help me? I am in the Southern New England area but would travel a reasonable distance to get an evaluation from someone with experience (if necessary). Thanks

I am a epileptic (age 42) became a epileptic at the age of 37 and the very very VERY last place you should try is the National Institute of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD. The neurologist there are not helpful at all (Dr. Danielsson, Dr. Theodore and surgeon Dr. Heiss) are as useful as T I T S on a bull, I know this from experience, I was a patient and I had brain surgery to try and stop my seizures, the surgery did not stop them and when I told my doctors (above) at the (NINDS Department with-in NIH) they referred me to their lawyers. Good luck, please stay away from NIH, if you want to know and understand about your sons health
one place I would recommend is Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Md. http://www.hopkinshospital.org/ They have terrific neurologists and they let you know everything about your health and are straight forward with you. From Southern New England Maryland is a little far to travel but maybe a phone call to them and maybe they can recommend a doctor in the New England area. I will say this to anyone with neurological problems stay away from the NINDS dept. at NIH !!!

I believe you can find help at oasis.com.
