[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 232897, member: 3419"] My understanding is that the test for Fragile X is the only "real test" that helps determine autism. If you have Fragile X, you generally have autism. I never got around to having my son tested for it. He has no physical characteristics of it and, frankly, I was tired of testing. I just didn't see how it would help us parent him any better. Here is a quote section from the National Fragile X Organization: [LIST] [*][B][COLOR=#FF0000]FACT: [/COLOR][/B]For between 2% and 6% of all children diagnosed with autism, the cause is the Fragile X gene mutation. [*][B][COLOR=#FF0000]FACT:[/COLOR][/B] Approximately one-third of all children diagnosed with fragile X syndrome also have some degree of autism. [*][COLOR=#FF0000][B]FACT:[/B] [/COLOR]Fragile X syndrome is the most common known single gene cause of autism. [/LIST]www.fragilex.org [/QUOTE]
