Pediatrician,  's  Response
thanks for asking
I gone through your question, and understand your concern.
Self gratification mimic like seizure. In seizure patient loose his conciouness , frothing from mouth, stool and and urine pass, patient remain drowness for few minitus after seizure. The EEG generally abnormal in seizure.
If doctor has seen the abnormal movement , he should pick seizure.
so as you said it is very frequently, and not write drowness after movements it appears that it is self gratification. The video of the event will be very useful for conclusion.
hope i answer your question .
