There is a girl who wears a helmet, Maybe you have seen her?
Maybe you stared at her because you were curious? You probably want to know why she has that helmet on................
........I will tell you some things about her. She has a seizure disorder. Sometimes she will fall down and get hurt.
Sometimes she might stare and not be able to talk.
Sometimes she might just be doing something odd, like smacking her lips or picking at her clothes.
Maybe you saw her have a seizure? Maybe it frightened you? It is o.k. to be a bit frightened, but please don't run away from her...........
.......She still needs friends!! She likes it when you talk to her, she likes it when you smile. If she does not smile back .....she is probably having a bad day and is really really REALLY tired.
How do I know these things? I am a girl that wears a helmet!
If you see a girl or a boy having a seizure, do not hold them down or try to force them to stop. Do not put things in their mouth. If they fall someplace dangerous or are standing someplace dangerous ( like a road) tell a grown up (if you are a kid).
You should tell a grown up anyway , even if it didn't happen in a dangerous place.
Be A Friend!
Sincerely, Jessica
