Epilepsy in Autism
I wanted to make this video to give an account of our current situation; many people have asked how my son is doing, equally I appreciate that I did not discuss previously the fact that Lloyd has epilepsy.
Lloyd started to have occasional (every 18 months) febrile convulsion from age 3 ½, much before his diagnosis of autism. These were always brought by fever. In the beginning they all led to status epileptus (partial complex seizure developing to generalised seizure lasting for longer than 20 min, some of his first convulsions lasted 1hr and were always terminated in Accident and Emergency). One of the epileptic fits happened whilst we were on holiday in France. I mention this because the level of investigations that was proposed there far out passed anything we have ever been offered in the UK. It was Lloyd's second fit and they were rightly concerned. Lloyd received a full blood work, CT brain scan, EEG and investigation of the cerebral spinal fluids were proposed (looking at infectious agents, inflammation). I refused the CSF work but now highly regret this decision, as this would have provided incredibly important information to understand his condition.
When Lloyd regressed at the start of his primary school, just before turning 6 (with loss of language, novel behaviour etc and a full blown autism diagnosis) he had at the time one of these convulsions that lasted 1hr. It occurs a few weeks into the regression rather than at the onset of it, I think it is a consequence of a deregulation that also affected his behaviour rather than the cause of it, but we will never know for sure.
After this, around age 7, Lloyd started to experience shorter epileptic fits (partial complex seizure, under1min, and stopping without medication). Because of side effect to anti-epileptic medication, Lloyd was placed on a ketogenic diet for 18 months around age 9. It did help in the beginning but quickly there were side effects, essentially because of induced profound nutritional deficiencies, I was able to identify. He was taken off the diet in March 05. Then we struggled along for a few years, but the frequencies of his fits continued to rise. It was higher in the winter, with January 07 reaching a peak record of 54 fits in a month. He had been tried over and over on all main anti-epileptics, which did not help addressing the pattern of his fits, always linked to immune deregulation and they had major side effects on his alertness and attention. He would also be very emotional and easy upset and tearful when on anti-epileptics, some movement disorder developed too. In Sept 07, he received vagal nerve stimulation device to control his fits.
In the video, I think you can see that at times Lloyd is absent; I think this is when he has some background activity. Often I can recall his attention and often I can take him out of a fit, by providing stimulation. I think you can also see that his overall movements, coordination, energy levels are affected, as well as his working memory, short term memory. In term of autism, you can see that he is trying his best to respond, look where I look, be well regulated and behaves appropriately (still sound hypersensitive and very sensitive to smell though), but he would have preferred topics of interests and would find difficult to have a conversation if I do not use a range of tactics, questions etc to maintain the flow. As always when someone watches self on video, one can see all the mistake made and I make many. One I did not count all the way to 10 (damn it)!
I wanted to show a video in a natural environment with minimal editing, to be as honest as possible on reporting, but it's not really possible to not to edit a meal that lasts usually 30 min. Of course what I have selected might be partly bias, but overall, I feel this reflects Lloyd as he is now, though he can be better and worse and generally presents as very uneven. He whispers at the moment, this is linked to the volume of speech used in school rather than be linked to epilepsy, I am pretty certain of this. Because we just got a new kitchen, some of the things you see here were proposed for the first time. The new space we have will provide more opportunities of such and this is pretty exciting I think.
Final comment, I have now met abut 300 kids with autism, I have not seen one child who presented like Lloyd though I have met a few who have regressed like him at a much later stage than the usually 18-24 month period. All to say, that I see no value to compare one child to another. A child can only be compared to himself. All children are unique and deserve the best care and love one can give.
As a parent, at times I feel very uncertain about our future. At other times, I trust I will find what is right, and do what ever it takes. But I can also be tired. Still essentially isolated and in needs to be a full and real person. I do as much as I can to get the balance right.
