Yes, a child can remain in school after a seizure, provided they are medically stable and feel well enough to participate in class. However, it’s essential to assess the child's condition, as some may experience fatigue or confusion afterward. Schools should have protocols in place to support students post-seizure, including notifying parents and ensuring the child feels safe. It's also important for educators to be informed about the child's specific medical needs and seizure management plan.
As of 2014, a child under the age of 17 is required to remain in school. The child is not allowed to leave school with or without the permission of parents.
The parents do have the right not to send the child to school on health grounds. They also have the option just to send the child part-time (e.g mornings but not afternoons). Potentially, (depending on local authorities) they have the right to paid home tutoring for their child. However, if the child is sent to school (for any length of time), the school should have the full (necessary) details of the child's medical condition, along with an action plan should a seizure occur. This plan should be arranged by organising a meeting with the parents (and potentially the child, depending on the child's age), in order to discuss the concerns of all parties. It helps if the parents have a clear idea of what they would like to be done to help their child; bring along a "checklist" of what should be done/who to call should their child have a seizure at school. The school should be prepared to give the child any necessary medication or first aid. If there is a school nurse, she should be made aware of the child's condition.
unfourtunately, yes. Depending on how severe the seizure is, and the circumstances in which the seizure was caused, and where it took place.

Canada has no emancipation statutes per se. It is only required that a child remain in school until they reach the age of 16. If at that point, they leave school and move out, that emancipates them. If they remain in school, the parent retains authority until the child reaches the age of 22 or leaves school, whichever comes first. See related link below.
The most common cause of seizure between tha ages of six months to six years is febrile seizure. If the child did not have fever at that time other causes have to be considered. The child needs to be examined without delay.
I don't know how many people have seizure disorders that are on the autism spectrum. I have when I was experienced it as a small child. There is truly no knowing how many people nowadays in the autism spectrum have seizure disorders.
In drop attacks, the child falls suddenly to the ground. This may be because the legs suddenly fold up (atonic seizure) or stiffen (tonic seizures), or because of a violent jerk (myoclonic seizure) that throws the child to the floor.
