Autism has also been linked to people with a history of Epilepsy and other
seizure disorders. A woman with Epilepsy will have a chance to conceive a child with
Autism. Other things such as environmental, auto immune, nervous system disorders, and certain genetic disorders such as downs syndrome have all been linked to Autism.
I have slight Epilepsy, and was not diagnosed until I was 23 years old. My son who has Autism also has seizures, they are minor but very noticeable.
