A member asked:
Hi,is absence seizures and learning disabilities are inherited?

Not always fully clear as to the underlying genetic tendencies, but certainly possible. Regardless, both should be evaluated and treated, and the child afflicted should see a pediatric neurologist and a speech therapist.

There are two many types of illnesses with these characteristics and some are inherited. It would be prudent to consult a neurologist for a particular person.
