**1. Epilepsy and autism**

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder not uncommon in children especially with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) [1–4] but little is known about how seizures impact the autism phenotype and the co-occurrence of both conditions leads to opens a lot of windows to speculate that [5]. The etiology of this co-morbidity (autism and epilepsy) is in most cases unclear. In some cases both conditions may be entirely independent and acquired together by chance. In other cases, autistic phenotype and epilepsy are associated with genetic disorder (e.g., fragile-X syndrome, Rett syndrome) or the same acquired early cerebral insult (e.g., congenital rubella).
