It's important to note that not every individual with autism will develop epilepsy, and the relationship between autism and epilepsy is complex. However, there is a higher prevalence of epilepsy among individuals with autism compared to the general population. The exact reasons for this association are not fully understood, but several factors may contribute to the connection:

1. Neurological Differences: Both autism and epilepsy involve abnormalities in the functioning of the brain. Neurological differences in brain structure and function could be a common factor contributing to the co-occurrence of autism and epilepsy.

2. Genetic Factors: There is evidence to suggest that there may be shared genetic risk factors for both autism and epilepsy. Some genetic mutations or variations may increase the likelihood of both conditions occurring together.

3. Neuro chemical Imbalance: Imbalances in neurotransmitters and other neurochemicals in the brain may play a role in both autism and epilepsy. Changes in these chemical signals can impact the development and functioning of the brain.

4. Epileptiform Activity: Some individuals with autism may experience epileptiform activity in the brain, even if they don't have visible seizures. This abnormal electrical activity might contribute to cognitive and behavioral challenges associated with autism.

5. Early Brain Development: Disruptions in early brain development, including during fetal development, may contribute to the increased risk of both autism and epilepsy. Environmental factors, such as prenatal exposure to certain substances, could potentially play a role.

It's crucial to recognize that each individual is unique, and the relationship between autism and epilepsy can vary. If you have concerns about a child with autism and the possibility of epilepsy, it's important to consult with healthcare professionals, such as neurologists or pediatricians, for a thorough evaluation and appropriate guidance. Early detection and intervention are key in managing both conditions effectively.

  Is My Child Ready for School? – Key Developmental Skills to Know By Raising Child Development Centre | Dr. Pranita Nitnaware (B.O.Th) Introduction Starting school is a major milestone—for both children and their parents. But how do you know if your child is truly ready for this big step? At Raising Child Development Centre , we often meet parents wondering whether their child has the necessary skills to begin formal schooling confidently and successfully. School readiness is about much more than age or academic knowledge. It includes a range of developmental skills across physical, emotional, social, and cognitive domains. As a parent, understanding these key areas can help you make informed decisions and support your child’s smooth transition into school life.     What Does 'School Readiness' Mean? School readiness means a child is developmentally prepared to learn, interact, and cope in a structured school environment. This doesn’t mean your child must...

  How Occupational Therapy Can Help Your Child Succeed in School By Dr. Pranita Nitnaware, B.O.Th Director, Raising Child Development Centre As a parent of a special child, you already know that school can be a challenging place. The classroom environment—structured, demanding, fast-paced—may not always meet your child’s individual needs. When a child has autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, or a learning disability, they often struggle with basic school tasks that other children do with ease. But here’s the good news: Occupational Therapy (OT) can help bridge that gap. It gives your child the tools they need to participate meaningfully in school—academically, socially, and emotionally. At Raising Child Development Centre , led by Dr. Pranita Nitnaware , we specialize in helping children with special needs develop the foundational skills needed for school success. With personalized OT programs, we’ve seen children grow from frustrated and dependent to conf...

Signs of Autism in Toddlers Parents Shouldn't Miss

Signs of Autism in Toddlers Parents Shouldn't Miss Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often shows signs as early as 12 to 24 months. Recognizing these signs early helps parents access the support their child needs during the most critical years of development. Every child is different, but some behavioral and developmental patterns are common among toddlers with autism. Parents may notice that their child is not meeting communication, social, or behavioral milestones. While not all signs confirm autism, being aware of them allows timely intervention. Let’s explore what to look for and when to take action.   Why Early Detection Matters Early diagnosis of autism is crucial. The earlier the signs are recognized, the sooner intervention can begin. Between birth and age 3, a child's brain is rapidly developing. This period offers the highest potential for improvement with the right therapies. Research shows that early behavioral interventions can improve communic...
