Description
Summary:	This paper aimed to assess language development in infants and toddlers with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and epilepsy, which increase the risk of autism spectrum disorder. We assessed language development in 61 patients with TSC at 8–36 months using a standardized Speech Development and Communication Inventory tool. The results showed differences in outcomes due to the duration of the seizures and the number of drugs (pFDR = 0.007 *—pFDR = 0.037 ). Children with TSC with longer epilepsy duration and receiving more antiepileptic drugs have a greater risk of language development delay.
