With petit mal, the small fit, it used to called vaguely, you could talk to somebody and then go on nattering away and then suddenly the person would switch off and then just stare and then after a while they come back and talk to you and it's, they pick up exactly where they've left off, so as I say it used to be called day dreaming, now that's the low end of the scale, now we go to the other end of the scale and remember please that  there's no set type for an epileptic, anybody, anywhere, any age at any time can have an epileptic fit, you don't have to be that type, don't.
