Hi.... I understand your concern and empathize with your kidyour. Your kid has two different problems for which the management is entirely different. First of all seizures should be controlled with anti epileptic drugs which I assume you are regularly following. I think that it should be complex partial seizure by what you have quoted.

The other problem with your kid is having is Autism which is not to be taken lightly and he should be managed with behavioral therapy and drug therapy. This should be done by expert psychologist who is well trained in Child Psychology. I suggest you get in touch with your nearest child guidance clinic in your area.
