Have 22 year old granddaughter, initially diagnosed w/autism at 2 yrs old because she could not verbalize-came out of that after intense speech therapy. She is extremely bright, graduated university this year in digital arts, graphic design. Has migraines, father s family history, had seizure in high school sophomore biology class, fell off chair, hit head, had concussion and vomited afterwards. walking across dorm room sophomore college, had headache, blurry vision, fell to ground, hit head on small dorm refrig--concussion and vomited afterwards. came to work, was getting out of car just about 3 weeks ago, had blurry vision, bad headache, got inside building restroom, vomited and found by person on the floor of restroom. her speech was impaired this time significantly. her words are hesitant, she can text, type, etc, but cannot verbalize easily--cannot sing either w/o hesitation or read aloud from a book. has low blood pressure, died on table for 2 pages at cardiologist 2 years ago when running tilt table test on her. he said may need pacemaker but too young as going in not a problem but changing out is more difficult at her young age. has been on lacmital and several other drugs since college, but still had seizure . what do we need to do to insure drs are looking in correct place--it appears from reading she had a mini-stroke that impacted speech this time and not a seizure . she s had 2 eegs which show significant seizure activity. my question-what tests need to be run to distinguish seizure vs stroke as she may be misdiagnosed? do you know of a neurologist dr who gives suggestions like this on line or we could make appt to see and just ask questions. 2 or 3 opinions are safer than one. we have a daughter in law pediatrician and she is also checking with her colleagues. or is there a website that can give suggestions for options, rather than attempting to induce another seizure to see where the specific activity is in the brain. should speech therapy not be 1st priority to regain as much speech as possible, prior to finding where seizures are happening when they are infrequent? granddaughter may have been having mini seizures or mini strokes as a child and these went unnoticed because she was thrown into the autism spectrum and it may not have been autism at all. thank you for any website or insight into this major concern or any suggestions, which are just potential possibilities, not absolutes. i would think a neurologist and cardiologist should work together with her to get to the issues at hand??? do you have any recommendations of the best neuorologist and cardiologist and any hospital you would recommend in the USA or southern california? is there any stem cell research available?
