Yesterday the Autism Talk Facebook page received post from Epilepsy Scotland inviting us to take part in their social media Thunderclap which will raise epilepsy awareness across the globe.

As many of you will know there is a close correlation between epilepsy and autism. Indeed only yesterday we published a post asking for respondents for a survey on that very subject.

Anyhow it would be great if you would take part in the Thunderclap. The details are all in the Widget below.

Many thanks in advance!
