From the supplier: The decrease in autistic symptoms of two twin boys after they received antiepileptic drugs for their absence seizures suggests that there may be a causal link between epilepsy and autism in a portion of patients diagnosed with autism. Nurses should encourage electroencephalograms (EEGs) for autistic children to determine if the patients are experiencing epileptic seizures when they are tired or sleeping. Nurses play a large role in referring families to counseling and educational programs to help them adjust to having a member with autism.
