I have a 19 year old son who is on the Autism Spectrum, has OCD and Anxiety. He experiences episodes many times per day where his brain goes blank, his vision goes blurry or black, and he is often unable to move or continue the activity that he is performing until the episode is over. For example, the episodes can stop him mid-sentence and it can take him 5 minutes to complete a 10 word sentence. Sometimes he cannot physically move or complete a movement like jumping in the pool, getting out of his seat or brushing his teeth. He gets stuck with the toothbrush in mid-air and can't move forward with the task until the episode is over.

He has had multiple EEG's with no seizure activity noted. He is on a medication for mood stabilization which is also an anti-convulsant. He has seen a Tic Disorders specialist who feels that it may be tics that are a manifestation of his OCD. He does have a long history of treatment resistant OCD. Catatonia has been mentioned and we have tried benzos for this with no success.

He is regressing academically and socially. If anyone has any helpful information it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
