My son (15) likes to play basketball and had another phantom foot pain in an area that was x-rayed as being clear of any fractures, etc... His doctor said that this may be a neuro problem.
An hour after this happened, my nephew comes from the locker room area saying that my son is having another "autistic episode". He describes my son as stimming (flapping) and vocalizing unintelligible sounds. After this, my son emerges cleaned, dressed and his usual charming self.
My nephew refers to this behavior as an "episode" because my son does this very rarely. He coined the phase after reading about psychotic episodes in a magazine. Could my son possibly be exibiting a neurological disease and not asperger's?? Maybe both? Any experiences with this?
Thanks.
