MsRrio,

You might ask your doctor for a prescription of an anti-seizure med. Neurontin (gabapentin) or some of the old standbys like phenobarbital or phenytoin (Dilantin). I was on both in high school (1971-2) and they settled my brain down. It sounds like your brain gets caught struggling and loses control of the timing processes needed to control a natural flow of information and speech.

The added stress of your son's struggles likely makes this brain stress much worse.

My best to you.
