Anyone else have absence seizures like mine?
Sun, 02/04/2018 - 20:37Topic: Living With Epilepsy - Youth
Hello, my name is Lizzy! I wanted to talk about my absence seizures and see if anyone can relate to them! They happen almost always when I am listening to and talking to someone and happen way more when I'm stressed out. I only really have seizures while walking, biking, or doing other activities if I'm stressed out, but have them every day because I'm talking to others. I think maybe it's because I'm autistic and have an auditory processing disorder and/or it's because of sensory overload and that's just my brain's response.
