Intellectual disability (ID) is possibly a reason for the higher co-occurrence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in children with epilepsy. Cerebral Palsy (CP) has also been found to co-occur with ASD (6.9%-hypotonic, 18.4%-spastic subtype) and with epilepsy (41%), but it is unclear if the co-occurrence of ASD and epilepsy varies by the presence of both, ID and CP. The purpose of this study to evaluate effect modification of CP and ID on ASD-epilepsy co-occurrence.
