UPDATE: I had originally indicated the the persons with Conor when he had his seizure 2 days ago had not seen convulsions. That is what I was told when I arrived. Yesterday though I received the notes of the education aide who was with him throughout the seizure and they indicate he was convulsing for several minutes, in other words a classic tonic-clonic seizure including fall and convulsions.
Earlier today I posted to my Facebook page and to the Autism Society New Brunswick FB page the link to Tonic-clonic seizures at Epilepsy.com. I included the note that it was important for persons with autism to be aware of such seizures because of the high number of person who suffer from epileptic seizures including my autistic son. A few hours later I got a call from the Leo Hayes High School and was informed that Conor had suffered a seizure. They did not think it was Tonic-Clonic although he had fallen and lost consciousness. When I arrived he was being attended to and was sitting in a wheelchair. He was groggy with very limited speech and needed assistance getting into the car for transportation home in the Dad-Mobile. He was tired at home and I insisted he stay on the couch for awhile and rest. Dad and Mom proceeded to provide the sure fire Spoil Em Rotten Recovery Treatment including supper from Papa John Pizza.

From Facebook to Reality in a Flash. It can happen.
