Aspergers and epilepsy, grandson, help please

My grandson is 9 years old and has beem diagnosed with aspergers as well as epilepsy. His epilepsy was controlled with epilem when suddenly he began having small seizures again. They stopped epilem and he has different stuff now, sorry don't know what.He now has a terrible problem of constant blinking which is driving him crazy, and finds, at times, he can't get his words out, as if he stutters. Sometimes he is o.k but this is happening the majority of the time now. He's kind considerate and has very high IQ. he does have probs with anger but knows he's been inappropriate. He makes complete sense of why he acted as he did yet he knows hw musn't start a fight because he'll be thrown out of his mainstream school. Pleasse help/ex[plain. Thank you.

Any concerns about seizures, seizure medication, or ticks should be brought to your neurologist.  Seizure disorders are serious and the effectiveness of a medication regimen needs to be closely monitored.  Follow up with the physician prescribing the medication and ask for a referral to another neurologist if you aren't happy with the care your son is currently receiving.
