Absolute utter nonsense. I went all through school--K through 12--with a girl who had epilepsy. Sure, when we were young, maybe up until second grade, her seizures were a distraction...for the first minute or two. You know what us kids learned? We learned how to deal with distraction. We also learned to be grateful that, for the most part, we were normal, healthy kids. I do not recall one single instance in which the girl was picked on, but if that had happened, I bet the kid doing the picking would have been trounced on at the playground.

Sorry, but I went to school with a girl who had epilepsy too. She was teased relentlessly until her parents finally yanked her from public school in the third or fourth grade after a bunch of kids wrote "Drain Bramaged" all over her binders and lunch box while she was on the playground one day. I'm glad to hear that your case went a lot smoother, but I can tell you from experience that children can be extremely cruel to kids who are different (as the red headed freckled kid with a funny and eminently teasable last name..."Sylvester the Molester"...I was on the receiving end of it more than I care to remember).
