Random, Repetitive Movements
A person having an absence seizure or complex partial seizure can remain upright and even appear to be conscious. The body movements of someone having this type of seizure may look intentional. They may repeatedly pick at clothes, chew and swallow, rub their hands or smack their lips.
During these seizures, the person can't consciously stop or respond to the people around them. They have no more control over their movements than a person having a tonic-clonic type of seizure.3‘Epilepsy - Symptoms.’ Nhs.uk, 23 Oct. 2017, www.nhs.uk/conditions/epilepsy/symptoms
