We have not evaluated any research on the co-morbidity of epilepsy and autism. The main agency through which the Government support medical and clinical research is the Medical Research Council (MRC). The MRC is an independent body funded by the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills, via the Science and Innovation Group.
We recently announced our intention to fund a prevalence study focusing on adults with autism and Asperger's Syndrome. This study will include people with epilepsy.
