Might the hyperexcitability of brain in epilepsy be related to the hyperactivity of people with asperger's?

Not related: The hyper excitability of epilepsy is disorganized and usually diffuse. In aspberger's syndrome the excitability is organized into thought and perception.

Not at all: Consider epilepsy a condition where the wiring of the brain has exposed wires that short circuit occasionally to trigger seizures. Consider Asperger patients as just being wired differently with a tendency to be more excitable.
