[QUOTE="buddy, post: 523082, member: 12886"] Do you mean this??? I have had two families who have had this on my caseload over the years. It has differing severity and different symptoms for different members of the family (from limited issues at all to very severe autism like symptoms etc....) but if this is what he has, this is genetic. It may be well worth checking out.
