    New way to test for Autism being explored. Interesting

    Interesting article, however, I'm wondering if this type of Q&A testing won't lead to over-diagnoses. What do you think?

    H&R, thanks for sharing. It may lead to over diagnosis, but they may be a few true diagnosis' that may allow for even an earlier intervention. Only time will tell.

    I'm still hedging my bets towards the functional MRI testing.

    DH - 43, depression, PTSD... Disabled Vet, lots o' meds
    Jett - 14M, ADD/LD/FAS/PDD NOS (alphabet kid), no meds
    MegaBean - 7 months, F, PC

    Possum, Squirrel & Bubbles - LOLCats and LOLDog (all PC)

    Onyxx - 18F, depression, PTSD, bipolar, stomach issues, med-resistant. She and BF are house-hopping...
    Raven - 20M, lives in NC
