My son is autistic and also suffers from seizures. In the past 3 years he has had about a dozen grand mal seizures. He recently had an MRI and his pediatric neurologist said there is no known reason to the seizures and it is not connected to autism.
It is frustrating and scary knowing my son can have a seizure at any time.
We want our son to grow up and have a fulfilling life and we worry about his having to deal with both autism(asperger's) and epilepsy.
