Epilepsy and autism have a strong association. The hypothesis of excitatory/inhibitory imbalance first developed in epilepsy is now under serious consideration in autism. Such a hypothesis might help explain why 30% of individuals with one of The Autisms, many of them not yet diagnosed with their underlying disease entity, have a seizure disorder; this is a figure higher than is found even in severely retarded individuals. There are at least 35 diagnosed disease entities with autism/ epilepsy described in the medical literature [1] and now that the cost of genome sequencing has dropped to an affordable range, undoubtedly many more will be identified.
