Should your son be outside and he has to at some point, make sure he is wearing a hat and wraparound
sunglasses. Also carry a watter bottle with him.
Don't think they know what the connection is could be the type of seizures, the heat itself, or actually the
rays bouncing off something and if he is light sensitive that would trigger it for sure.
For myself it is not only when out in the sun as sure know when had enough and have to come in, it is going
from the hot to the cold darkness of the home. When you think 'change'. You are drastically changing
conditions around you and your brain can't figure.
The suns rays the peak of the day are very powerful too specially if in super hot cliamate. Like they say
they have no definite proof about the moon but we see things happen on a full moon that not at other times.
Same thing. Also even though the sun isn't hot the rays from it bouncing off the snow in winter can cause some
to be enough to trigger a seizure. In fact I worked with a person who there were times when the sun and the
snow just didn't click and a seizure would be about to appear.
Our brains our complicated, they are powerful and have to keep it working to the best of our ability at all
costs as if it stops working ..it controls all other organs too and they will shut down as well.

My son is extremely sensitive to the actual sunlight. We are never out long enough to get hot, so this is why
I KNOW it's the light itself. Anytime we go outside, we have to keep trips very short, shoot for cloudy days,
wear sunglasses, hat and use an umbrella, etc. etc. He is very sensitive in general. The sun, however, makes
his muscles loose, starts drooling, and really out of it. If the sun gets in his eyes, he will start having
seizures. Aeidan (5 yo) is homebound, because of his sensory problems. Laura

the sun is not the problem its the heat try and keep out of extreme heat or
any heat, and wear light color clothing dark colors attract heat like a
refridgearator to a magnet.
