Autism acceptance begins with understanding and respect.

Autism is a natural part of human diversity, and every individual experiences the world in their own unique way. Some individuals with autism also live with epilepsy, which can add layers of complexity to care and daily life.

At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, we recognize that care must be individualized, collaborative, and inclusive. That means listening closely, supporting neurodiversity, and addressing both medical and psychosocial needs.

Autism acceptance is about creating environments where people are understood, supported, and empowered to thrive, today and every day.

Epilepsy is more common than many people realize, and it does not look the same for everyone.
Seizures can take many forms, and with the right diagnosis and care, many people with epilepsy live full, active lives.

Purple Day is about increasing understanding, reducing stigma, and supporting those affected by epilepsy through education and awareness.

At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, we believe knowledge empowers better care and stronger communities.

Today, we recognize and celebrate the essential role social workers play in healthcare, including two valued members of the Minnesota Epilepsy Group team, Hallie Orton and Kristen Caffrey.

Hallie Orton supports pediatric patients and their families by addressing the psychosocial needs that often accompany an epilepsy diagnosis. She helps connect families with epilepsy specific resources, guidance, and community support, serving as both advocate and partner as they navigate the challenges of seizure disorders.

Kristen Caffrey, our adult social worker, provides similar support for adult patients, helping them manage the practical and emotional impacts of living with epilepsy. She works closely with individuals to identify barriers to care, connect them with appropriate resources, and ensure they feel supported throughout their treatment journey.

Together, their work ensures that care extends beyond medical treatment to include education, advocacy, and support for the whole person.

On National Social Worker Day, we thank Hallie, Kristen, and all social workers for the compassion, expertise, and dedication they bring to patient care every day.

Not all events after a brain injury are seizures.
And not all seizures mean epilepsy.
After a brain injury, people may experience episodes that look like seizures, but they can have different causes. Some are related to temporary brain irritation, medication effects, or other neurological changes.
That’s why proper evaluation matters. A complete clinical assessment with detailed history and examination is often coupled with EEG to measure the brain’s electrical activity and determine whether events are truly seizures. Brain imaging, like MRI or CT, help identify structural changes that may affect treatment decisions.
At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, expert clinical evaluation and focused testing allows us to make accurate diagnoses and guide the right care, because understanding the brain is the first step to protecting long term health.

The brain communicates through complex electrical signals that control how we think, move, and feel.
In epilepsy, those signals become disrupted, leading to seizures that can look different for every person.

Understanding brain science is the foundation of epilepsy care. From EEG testing to individualized treatment plans, every decision starts with learning how the brain is functioning and what each patient needs.

At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, we use neuroscience, advanced diagnostics, and a multidisciplinary team to deliver comprehensive, patient centered epilepsy care.

Brain Awareness Week is a reminder that education, research, and compassion work together to improve lives.

Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain and can develop quickly, making it a medical emergency. It may be caused by viral infections or autoimmune conditions and often presents with symptoms such as fever, confusion, memory changes, or seizures.

Seizures are common during encephalitis and, for some individuals, may continue after recovery. Long term neurologic follow up is often essential to address ongoing symptoms and reduce the risk of complications, including epilepsy.

On World Encephalitis Day, we share this information to raise awareness, support early recognition, and encourage timely medical care.

At Minnesota Epilepsy Group, we are committed to providing specialized epilepsy and neurologic care for patients affected by encephalitis, working closely with individuals and families every step of the way.
