Autism and Epliespy

 I cannot find a lot of information on Epliespy other than a couple of sites. It may not tell you everything needs to know but I will write from my own experiences and put on the sites I have found. 

However' people with Autism face Anxiety and Depression, which means depending on the person and their problems etc, by a guess if stress and Anxiety, etc get too it can increase to seizures but that may not be the case for everyone who faces Autism. As I have said in past posts, I have been through periods of years with and without seizures, which is rather odd, the only thing I can think of that it may be because I was born lack of oxygen but I could be wrong.  Before I go, I will just put this link on about Epilepsy and Autism. https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/professional-practice/epilepsy-autism

I can only speak for myself and not others who face similar or the same. When I face seizures it's normally what was called Petty mal, which I think they call what you call Absence seizures these days, and face another type too, which I don't know what it is.https://www.autistica.org.uk/what-is-autism/signs-and-symptoms/epilepsy-and-autism

Signs

Pins and needles

Most sites I have read have said that Epliespy and Autism are rather common together than in other people with and without other problems. However, it doesn't necessarily mean you will face everyone faces Autism facing Epliespy or the other way round, it may vary.  According to the Autistica site, which I have put at the end of the third paragraph of this site on this blog. Epilepsy is common in those who face, which are genetic disorders connected to Autism, which are these.

  • Rett syndrome  https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/rett-syndrome/
  • Fragile X syndrome https://www.spectrumnews.org/wiki/fragile-x-syndrome/
