The Question I Would Like To Ask Though Not Enough Characters To Explain My Case Can Someone With Epilepsy Go On To Have ASD Or Even ADHD

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Filey, UK

I've had epilepsy since I was an infant due to the whooping cough vaccine there's no way of getting away from that
However although I was 18 months behind in my development and education I was able to become a chef in my late twenties and bring up a daughter from my early thirties and onwards
How then could my epilepsy have anything to do with ASD or ADHD albeit I was very hyper active in my childhood as a result of my epilepsy and not the other way round
