| Introduction | "Epilepsy is Not beyond a cure, it is simply Underfunded." ~Brandy Parker, My Epilepsy Story. I am a mother of three beautiful children. I have lived with epilepsy for 20 years and I am lucky to be in the 70% of people with epilepsy who responds to treatment. Yet, my life has been dramatically impacted by epilepsy. Research now shows that the antiepileptic drug I was prescribed while pregnant with my first child can cause developmental delay. This is characterized by lower verbal IQ in children when exposed in utero. My son has been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. I grapple with the emotions that the seizure medication I took to not have epilepsy affect me on a daily basis, has now affected my son on a daily basis. My passion is for a cure for epilepsy and to speak out for how epilepsy impacts everyone.
