thats she on effects her thinking? she seems a little slow, shes not retarded but she seems like she doesn't understand the simplest things. I was wondering if that's normal for having epilepsy? i have never been around anyone that has it before. she is 17 years old and we just hired her. she can't remember simple things and she doesn't know how to count money. i feel really sorry for her but i don't know what to do. its like she is 7 years old. can someone please help me understand this illness. tanks
