Child Being Tested For Autism. Has Unilateral Hearing. Diagnosed With Right Bunble Branch Block. Is There A Link To All This?
Hi, My son ten years old is currently being tested for Autism, the Psychologist seems to think he has is but wants me to wait for the final result when she has all her paper work together this wil be on the 10th January.
He also has Unilateral hearing we had a CT scan and an MRI with the specialist telling me everything is ther but could be nerve damage, no signs to show why he has not hearing in his right ear. Normal hearing in his left.
He also had to have a kidney ultrasound as with hearing loss sometimes there is only one kidney or they may have an abnormality. No problems with kidneys. We had a ECG to check his heart, they found a Right Bunble Branch Block. we are due to go the a heart specialist on Monday. Our normal GP said RBBB are common and we should not worry, but I cant help but worry. Is there a link to Hearing loss, Autism and RBBB. Could this cause a Heart Attack with his stress levels through a meltdown? Thank you for your help.

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
At this age the children will be active, and prone to have a tendency for playing games. He may have a negative report for autism.
Right bundle branch block may have nothing to worry, it has nothing to do with the heart attack, it may cause arrthmia. Any how you are going to the cardiologist, Good luck.
Hegarding hearing loss in one ear can be dealt by the neurologist.
So i advise you to consult a neurologist, for diagnosis.
Never try to point his mistakes, never compare with other friends. Never insult him before his friends. Show him effection,and allow him to be individualised.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
