I have 2 daughters under the age of 10 who are autistic and it is a very difficult situation to be in. I have learned to recognize my auras just before a seizure happens and sit the girls at the table with some play dough or in front of their favorite show, make sure the stove is off, doors are locked and I lay down immediately. I do feel your pain and can only suggest preparation and recognizing any kind of repartition in physical or emotional changes just before it happens and I wish you all the luck in the world.
