I weaned my daughter from anti seizure drugs when she was about 6. She had had seizures at age 4 and 5 ... I recommended the same doctor to other parents and they came to me and commented on how everyone in the office thought they had Tourette’s Syndrome. (This was true; I too thought it bizarre). Once the doctor began having me pay him becuase he didn’t want to deal with insurance, I stopped using him and my daughter btw did not show any more signs of seizures.
By the way, if Jett Travolta had a seizure disorder, it could have been bad enough to affect his learning which could explain why people thought he was autistic.
You are correct about medicating the child. It’s the business of the parents and nobody else.
