Sweeti there are no safe chat rooms. You just have to supervise his activity while on there. Chats can be fun and entertaining at times, but he needs to be aware of the potential dangers and rules of using a chat. Always put youre computer in a room what the whole family has access to like a family rm or kitchen and even a den.  =

I have epilepsy, well I did have. I had nocturnal epilepsy so had fits when going into sleep or coming out of sleep. It was very bad, especially when I was pregnant as I lived alone and I was quite worried in case I harmed them but things are alright. Although, i have started having the aura before a seizure these past 15 days and am having a sleep deprivation eeg on thursday, I hate them so much, how can someone go to sleep in a hospital with electordes stuck to their chest, nipples and brain with chewing gum? (Not actually chewing gum, but a gummy like glue) My 9 year old sister is best friends with a set of twins, one of which has cerebal palsy, and she is a real sweetie, though I do wish that she was mine sometimes because her mother does little or one of her excercises that she should with her so her palsy is getting worse each year. What type of epilepsy does your son have if you don't mind my asking, it's just, im trying to look for others with sleep epilepsy and it's so difficult. Google can't seem to turn up anything that I'm looking for, and I must have tried every combination of words created lol.  =

Hi Nicola
My son has complex partial epilepsy. I have not heard of someone with nocturnal epilepsy before. I agree, how does someone get to sleep wired up for an eeg. Soon my son will have to have that done also...that should be interesting!  =

i had the sleep EEG before, and they said I did get to sleep but I don't remember it at all. I just remember trying really hard to go to sleep. I was around 11 almost 12 when I had it done. I'm sure there are lots of chatrooms that would be suitable for your son but I doubt tthere are any that are actually safe. But with monitoring and lots of discussion with your son, I'm sure you can make them as safe as possible.  =

Hi miriam, my daughter is 4 years old and diagnosed 8 days ago with bipolor and underlining add.was put on risperdal quarter dose for one week than upped to .05 on the seventh day. she has improved tremendesly in those 8 days, however one of the side affects of risperdal is trembling or shaking. my doctor said if this happens to call him. if you go online and look up risperdal side effects it will show you what to watch for.if you look up www.risperdal.com and it will give you side effect including tremors.my wife and i are looking to talk to other parents to talk or learn what we can do to help our children!!and remember your not alone in this.  =

OMG, I just googled special needs chat rooms and found your request. I have 6 special needs children. I have to teenage boys with really no "real" friends. They struggle with the social cues and regularity of the world. I thought a chat room with others that understand them more would be awesome. Please respond if interested. Sons are 17,& 14.  =
