Bishop, Lauren; McLean, Kiley J.; Rubenstein, Eric – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Although epilepsy commonly presents with autism in children, it is currently unknown whether established estimates represent the prevalence and incidence of epilepsy in autistic adults. Our objective was to use population-level Medicaid data to determine prevalence, incidence, and antiepileptic drug use associated with epilepsy in a unique…
