ADHD, Autism, and Epilepsy are all actually things I've been wanting to give characters, but honestly I don't know where to start with any of those.
I've written a character having a seizure, and he'd had them before, but it wasn't epilepsy. It was a side effect of magic power overuse (I had various side effects associated with different types of powers).

I have autism (Aspergers) and ADHD. If you have any questions about them, feel free to shoot me a PM!

I can give you advice for the ADHD stuff if you want?

One type I'd like to see more of is aphasia, be it Broca's, Wernicke's, or Anomic Aphasia, or any others. It's just really interesting, and could use more rep.

ADHD, Autism, Tourette’s, Alzheimers, short or long term memory loss.

I would like to see a books go through an accurate dissociative identity disorder, Schizophrenic, Dissociative Amnesia, and much more. I haven't seen books ever go in depth with deaf characters, I think that would be an interesting to read about.
