[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 392439, member: 1550"] My son had genetics screening. He is going to have another one, more intensive. Genetics screenings can not tell if your child has autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), bipolar, etc. It can only tell if they have a disorder where genes are irregular (which is not the case in those disorders). It's always worth a try. Fragile X is a genetic disorder that causes autistic symptoms. If this is one doctor, out of thousands, claiming she can pinpoint things like Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) through genetics testing, then I would wonder if she is for real or kind of a quack...you'd think everyone would use this method if it were really available and helpful...good luck.
