Many individuals with autism have epileptiform discharges on their EEG without having definite clinical seizures. The clinical significance of epileptiform activity in patients with autism is controversial. Some consider it an epiphenomenon of the underlying condition that should be ignored, and others believe that frequent spikes may contribute to the cognitive impairment and advocate treatment. Several studies have reported variable rates of epileptiform activity and variable response to treatment. There is an urgent need to conduct controlled clinical trials to assess the true incidence of epileptiform activity in children with autism, develop a risk assessment model, and study the effectiveness of treatment.
