Of course you can get it the other way around too: My son has a similar diagnosis to the child in this story (no epilepsy though) and I can't count the number of times I've had to explain to medical professionals (including EMT's and Paramedics) that he is more unwell than his 'usual' symptoms would indicate (he has the unnerving propensity to laugh at the most inappriopriate times, eg during injections, that makes his actual level of discomfort difficult to gauge).
