AO/GR 2012 Conference. Richard Frye, MD, PhD.

A New National Survey on Treatments: Approximately 25% of children and adults with autism have seizures, and another 50% may have sub-clinical seizures that are often undetected but may affect their intellectual functioning. This presentation will briefly review the causes and consequences of seizure in autism. The new results of a national survey of treatment of over 700 children and adults with seizures and autism will be presented. A comparison of the benefits and possible side effects of many medical, dietary, and nutritional treatments will be presented.

AutismOne is a private, nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization with its primary mission of helping children and families within the autism spectrum and related conditions. AutismOne is an educational organization, and all lectures, information, and presentations are for informational purposes only. No information on this website nor any AutismOne related event should be construed as medical and/or legal advice or recommendations. We strongly advise that all children needing specific medical or legal advice seek counsel of a duly licensed professional. Every child is unique, and to attempt to address complex medical issues without a trained and experienced expert is akin to a lay person attempting to perform surgery without any training. Doing either would risk serious (and in some cases could have irreversible) consequences.
