Does Anyone Have A Child With Epilepsy That Started Before Age 1 Who Is Also On The Spectrum?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son started having seizures at 6 months old or earlier. He was later diagnosed with autism. Just wondered if autism is a common occurrence in individuals who started seizing as babies.

Yes it is common, in our case as well as many people we know...if you are in CA or a state that allows medicinal use of marijuana it has been a game changer.

Our daughter started having seizures right after her 1year shots...... Had 100's a day for years. Wasn't until she became seizure free did we find out she was autistic. It is common.
