this forum is pretty small. you should probably also try the forum that john lester runs. http://brain.hastypastry.net/forums/there are specific catergories on that forum and you would want to post in a couple of catergories, epilepsy and ADHD. people double post all the time, so don't think anything of copying and pasting your post. you ought to get repsonses from people because it is such a busy site. there are comorbid neuro problems, so you won't be alone. if you post on the epilepsy board, take a look at the "parents of kids with E" thread. there are several parents with kids in their 20s. this is a link to a much smaller board, but it is a friendly place and there are several parents of adult kids with E on the board. http://www.debraboard.org/cgi-bin/temp.plone of the wisest moms i know on that board kept a good dialogue going with other parents as well as with people with E.
