[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 437174, member: 8831"] maybe they want to rule out things like fragile x--that would be picked up on genetic testing. i've done it for one of the two and it turned up nothing, but it also gave *ME* piece of mind to have another child, and not worry about passing something on. it would have been an added bonus to put a formal name to the diagnosis. when we did it, testing was in its infancy, and given the chance i'd consider revisiting it one last time since there have been SO many advancements in the last two decades. it wouldnt change anything, but it would be nice to[I] know[/I]. in my opinion, its worth doing. either way, its a good idea to rule out as much as possible when looking at more subjective diagnosis's like spectrum disorders, even in the event that treatment remains the same.
