Did any of the groups wrt. asperger's not have anything? Howdy Dave did
a post earlier, that has his Website address at end of it. The Idaho
website is at http://www.epilepsyidaho.org (from memory) --> If that's
correct, look for First Aid for Seizures page. As well as listing what to
do, it also lists the Symptoms (Aura = Simple Partial) a person might
experience at seizure onset.
Groceries (above) is a little vague to look for reactions to. Some of
our seizure types can be aggravated by aromas -- Lemon, Vinegar or Bleach
(mine), Eggy/sulphur aromas with some types. Others might be affected by
flickering lights (like some stores that have a defective neon bulb or
strobes).
Is there anything similar in the bookstores you refer to that are in the
Grocery stores -- damp, muggy air? Cleaner Fluid aromas? I assume he
doesn't react at home to newsprint or books? But are there any cleaners, or
soaps that cause disturbance?
Have a look at the First aid symptoms in site above too. Howdy Dave
posted a few times earlier today. He has another Website that you should
bookmark while he's around-- some of these bachelors tend to move around a
lot. :-> . G./

It's the stupid blinking lights that drive me crazy in the Hastings book
and movie rental store. I sent a note to the management, but doubt that
they will respond. Maybe if I go in and actually have a seizure a
couple times in their store, they would listen to our concerns. But I
really don't feel like doing that. When I go in I don't look up and I
cover my eyes. People probably think I am some sort of criminal, on the
FBI's most wanted list and I'm trying not to be seen ;-)
Take care,
Julie
