“The treatment of epileptiform activity not only improves the seizure control but also improves autistic symptoms.”

Seizures and seizure-like activity are far more common in autism than most parents realize—yet they often go undetected. In this important presentation, Drs. Dan Rossignol and David Millett explain how subtle electrical disruptions in the brain can affect speech, behavior, sleep, learning, and development. These “invisible” seizures may not look like dramatic convulsions but can still have a profound impact on a child’s quality of life. 

The session breaks down the different types of EEG abnormalities, when and why to screen for them, and what to do if your child’s EEG shows seizure-like activity. It also examines how treatment, whether through medication, diet, or addressing root causes such as cerebral folate deficiency, can enhance outcomes. Brad Levy concludes with a family-centered examination of in-home EEG monitoring and how parents can advocate for improved diagnosis and care. 

This presentation is a must-watch for any family navigating autism, especially those dealing with unexplained regression, hyperactivity, poor sleep, or cognitive plateaus.
