It's About Wisdom

Wisdom Jones is a 16 year old gifted and talented young man, currently living in Atlanta, Georgia. At the age of three, Wisdom was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and was put in early intervention; which has helped tremendously with learning.

On June 6th, 2013 at 7:30 a.m, Wisdom had a Tonic Clonic (Grand Mal) Seizure for the first time in his life. He was then admitted to the hospital and later diagnosed with a severe case of Epilepsy of his frontal lobe. Wisdom has Tonic Clonic Seizures, Partial Complex Seizures, Non-Epileptic Seizures and a Cyst on his brain.

Due to the complexity of Wisdom's epilepsy and autism, he has 9-15 seizures daily, requires 24 hour care and supervision, and he has been unable to attend school this year. On December 10th, 2013, Wisdom was re-admitted into the hospital for a period of 6 days after having 4 Grand Mal Seizures within 5 hours. Although he was under constant supervision and heavy medication he still averaged between 5-8 seizures a day. His doctor has recommended that we seek immediate medical attention with an Eptologist in Florida.

While on this journey with Wisdom, we have discovered that there are several people who are going through very similar situations or know someone who is going through similar situations; however there is not a lot of awareness regarding epilepsy/autism co-conditions. So through Wisdom's journey to healing we would also like to enlighten as many people as possible by using his "It's About Wisdom" campaign by sharing statistics, resources, recent studies and basic information (raising awareness of epilepsy/ autism co-condition). www.itsaboutwisdom.com
