Well I have never heard of anything specifically but have you been to a pediatric neurologist with this problem? Try that and see what happens take your child to as many doctors as you can find until somebody gives you an answer. Is there a childrens hospital anywhere near you? I would start there. Let me know what happens. Leigh

There are several possibilities. Maybe, there is a mild case of epilepsi, where he becomes absent. Maybe some other neurological disorder. Perhapse it is nothing drastic and he just wanders of for a moment, like think something to himself. Everyone has experienced that one or other time - I hope.
Don't worry to much too soon. Just take your child to a pediatrician, a nevrologist and try to get some naswers.

I hope everything will be ok.

I have a friend who is epileptic and the just stands there and looks absent its a form of a sesure. I would have that checked out at a childrens hospital look on the internet for one in your state or community and also remember that epilepsi is very commonly mis-diognosed and sometimes they cant accuretly diognose it. Its not an easy medical condition to see.
