My Autistic Grandson was described as having an ''absent moment'' what does this mean?
My daughter & I are worried as in my Grandsons school book today they said he had an ''absent moment'' for approx 10 seconds today at his special needs school
What does this MEAN???
I cannot find any info on it but presume it is a term people who work with children with special needs use??
We have just never heard of this term before and have not noticed what they have described before and they have never mentioned it happening before , so any clarification from anyone in the know would greatly help
THANK YOU! :-) x

it means he may have had a petit mal seizure, and he needs to be checked. Try not to worry, my brother had them as a child, he had a few grand mal in his adolescent, and has been seizure and med free since his 20s. He is 40 now and thriving and smart and healthy. He has an autistic son, brother, sis (me) and niece. These kind of seizures are usually described as being gone for a moment.
