I diddnt know till this evening that this epeleptic drug can cause autism, now though i did not take this when pregnant,do you think this could stay in your system or do something that causes it? i started taking this medication when i was around 15 to the age of 18 and wondering if this possibley could be the cause? however it should have well dissapeared out my system????/
I would look at the links between epilepsy itself and autism before worrying about the drug. Perhaps the close monitoring of people taking the drug revealed autistic traits that otherwise wouldn't have been noticed?

MO4B, if you have epilepsy then perhaps you also have some mild autistic traits too?
