They thought my son was having absence seizures but his eeg came back normal. It seems to be a quirk and having talked with a few other parents at his school, we all have noticied that if the child has been self stimulating then the spacing out tends to follow. I don't know what tests have been done, this is just what happened with us.
Hopefully your DD will be alright and this will be minor. Having 2 children on the spectrum in hard enough without any additional medical trouble.
