Absent seizures are mini seizures that usually occur in kids from 7-14ish. They are sometimes mistaken for ADD and unlike regular seizures, they do not usually cause any long term damage. Basically, the child will just have no idea what is going on for 20-30 seconds. Absent seizures are extremely under-diagnosed because, like what was said before, if the child turns out to be negative for ADD, doctors will usually not check for absent seizures and the child will just be known to 'zone out'.
