Beyond the Surface: Exploring the Complexities of Seizures and Epilepsy in Autistic Individuals

Stephanie Morris, MD - Medical Director, Center for Autism Services, Science and Innovation (CASSI)

During our first NCSA webinar with Dr. Morris, we discussed the basics of seizures and epilepsy in severe autism including: types of seizures, signs and symptoms, causes of seizures, treatment options, and seizure first aid. In this webinar, we will dive deeper to explore the complexities of seizures and epilepsy in autistic individuals including: the neurobiological basis of seizures in autism, the influence of environmental factors on seizures, seizure medications and their effects, and alternative forms of therapy.

Note: Attendees are strongly encouraged to watch Dr. Morris's earlier webinar on this topic as she will not be reviewing the basics in this follow-up webinar.
