Twenty-two girls reported that their performance at school was never limited due to the disease and 19 boys indicated that their performance at school was not often limited. Thirty-four participants were not often limited due to the epileptic fits, and their independence was limited only sometimes. As the results show, girls did not consider epilepsy as a handicap which would limit them to a certain extent in their social life, or in meeting their friends. Boys felt the limitation only sometimes. Epilepsy and taking drugs limited our participants in doing sports or physical activities sometimes.
