No: ASD is an umbrella term that includes autism, Asperger's and pervasive developmental delay not otherwise specified. A simple way to look at this group is their nervous system responds differently to stimulus than most people.While a patient with any of these specific conditions might have some form of a seizure disorder, it would never be appropriate to imply they all have one.
