Hi could really do with some advise please

My little girl has epilepsy she is eight years old. Her first seizure was in January this year.
We have noticed some unusual behaviour which I must say started summer 2007.
She gets very angry at times and it's almost like she has been taken over. She can get very obbsessive over things and people. And when she has her mood swings she just talks rubbish.

At the moment she has a real issue with bathing and having a shower. She hates the feeling she has in her hands afterwards . If she does get them wet she will go crazy.

School wise she is doing really well.

The times she kicks off are around bed times, in large well light area's such as shopping centers and she has a real issue with change. She can't cope very well with it.

Her consultant is unsure if this is to do with her epilpesy or could it be Apserger's .

Any advice would be great please
