Stimming/absence seizures?

Shogan

My 8 yr old step daughter has Aspergers,on a regular basis she walks up and down the room with one fist clenched and in a state of trance unaware of her surroundings. When asked why she does this she said it helps her de stress. I've searched the internet and have come across Stimming/absence seizures, the paediatrician has never heard of this and is basically not interested. Other people have said its a coping mechanism although I'm not convinced. Has anyone else experienced this or anything similar? I'm very worried as it's getting worse and nobody seems interested

  • My grandson has night terrors and during this he appears to be in a trance, looks terrified, goes rigid like he is having a seizure, shouts, cries and does not respond to touch but recoils.  He often does not remember the next day.  He calls them 'maredreams'.  He is 4 years old.  He is newly diagnosed with ASD, Aspbergers and poss ADHD this month.
