Hi i suffer from non epileptic seizures myself,not even a gp or medical staff know one from the other,if your child is young there is a very good chance of a cure,but like me im 63 it took so long to diagnose that it was out of contol but it is helpped by differant medication.
But please remember the seizures are every way as real as epilepsey,which i may add can be fully controled non ep are rarely contrled so a carer is a good thing just in case,hope this helps in some way,but you both take care@stay lucky.
