Epilepsy is Common in Persons with Autism and Intellectual Disabilty

What I didn't know at that time was that persons with autism and intellectual disability are at high risk of having epilepsy as well. Sometimes it becomes apparent in early childhood and sometimes in teen years as was the case with Conor.
