[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It seems that people who are promoting a much more serious, intrusive, hard line approach are extrapolating backward from their own experience of diagnosis of epilepsy or serious neurological troubles.[/b] I think we need to remember that all that is on the table so far is a teacher who has observed some sort of behavior. We don't even have a description of that behavior. Simply a notation that the teacher has seen a youtube video that makes her feel it could be absence seizures. I don't want a school nurse or teacher suggesting diagnoses. Pointing out problems, absolutely, and encouraging a visit to the doctor, you bet. But suggesting diagnoses is dangerous and over the line. A kid that loses focus in class could be malnourished, could be exhausted, could have a metabolic disorder, could have a dozen different things.[/quote] Agreed. Enough with the hyperventilating hysterics.[/quote]
