Hi, I'm just wondering, would one really need a medical bracelet for being an Aspie or high functioning austisic and would this seizure I'm about to mention could really be a seizure. I remember reading a post that said one saved his or her life. Mentioned something about vaguely remembering screaming or something like that. However it when comes to my mind, I seriously can't remember ever being an association with high function or Aspie and having seizure. I could be wrong, that is why I'm asking you guys? Also I'm not in anyway trying to offend this person in particular and in fact would like to hear from him or her about what he meant or the real reality of Aperger's and High function Austism. I'm curious, at any rate, whether or not having seizures are truly associated with high function austism and asperger's? Looking forward to hearing your comments and sorry if in any way did this sound offensive.

am not sure if a bracelet would be good for all aspies/hfas,because not all would have problems when being dealt with in emergency,but if have quite a lot of needs related to the as or hf autism,why not get one as it could help.


the only way to tell if are having seizures,is to get an EEG done-the longer the better,if it has specific setoffs,doctors may require them to be set off whilst under EEG.


epilepsy is supposed to be common amongst autistics; especially auties,am have epilepsy [tonic clonic] as well as autism.
a more technical WPer may be able to give the official stuff on both.

I'm not officially diagnosed. However, I get what you call petit mal seizures--staring episodes pretty much.

I have heard about those types of seizures.
