Endorsements for Silently Seizing
From Leading Autism Experts

"Caren has teamed up with knowledgeable professionals who are on the front lines of treating this convoluted disorder with its many components. This book is a treasure for parents and clinicians seeking to understand the reasons for certain behaviors exhibited by some people on the spectrum of autism. Caren and her team outline effective treatment for the associated medical problems, which in turn cause an array of behavioral problems."

“Raising a child with autism is a challenging task for parents, but when autism is combined with a seizure disorder, the challenge becomes even more complex. This is particularly true when the seizure pattern is an atypical one that masquerades as panic attacks or other disorders. This book helps identify such patients, and more importantly, provides advice, direction, support and hope to families facing this difficult mix of symptoms and behaviors. It reinforces the fact that often the real experts in observing and reporting such complex patterns are the parents themselves. Armed with the appropriate diagnosis, the family and clinician together can outline and navigate a course of treatment for the patient with satisfying and gratifying outcomes.”

Darold A. Treffert, M.D.

"It has been more than twenty years since Caren has embarked on her quest to pave the road for parents who have a  child on the spectrum of autism. As concerned parents we bonded together to share knowledge and enlighten each other with the life lessons we gleaned from our children. Caren always offered us reassurance and her ravenous thirst for real answers, culminated in a book which will assist parents add a new piece to the autism puzzle. Her book, Silently Seizing, delves into a subject which has been greatly overlooked until now. A little known and talked about connection with seizures is finally out in the open. Now we can look forward to real success stories. Bravo Caren!"

Sally J. Colletti, CEO of
Advocates For Autism

"Caren's book reflects the tremendous challenges and suffering that can result when medical issues in a misunderstood disorder fall at the intersection between two subspecialties, in this case neurology and psychiatry. You will be able to easily assimilate the information found here, and as a consequence, be better able to report accurately to your doctor what you are witnessing in your child."

Nancy Minshew, MD,
Professor of Psychiatry and Neurology, University of Pittsburgh.

 

 

"Seizures and abnormal EEGs are a commonly undiagnosed cause and co-morbidity in individuals with Autism. This book presents vital information to parents about not only techniques to discover underlying seizure patterns, but also new cutting edge treatments, including some without medication or side effects."
