Seizures and Autism

We have witnessed the tragic truth that anyone can develop epilepsy and/or autism; these disorders have no boundaries, they occur in all races and social classes. The reasons why people develop autism are not straightforward and there are many possible causes. But recently, frightening statistics have emerged that there is a connection between children diagnosed with autism and an increase in occurrence of seizures as they reach puberty.

Therefore, TACA --Talk About Curing Autism -- and The American Epilepsy Outreach Foundation are partnering, so that you can get support and answers if your child suffers from seizures and autism.

Please visit TACA at www.talkaboutcuringautism.org to learn more specifics about autism. Together, in the future, we may be strong enough to force more research on these connections.
