[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 29819, member: 1550"] Dara, has he seen a developmental pediatrician yet? Or been evaluated for "at risk" childhood interventions? Do you see any delays? What makes you think it's Fragile X? Autism resembles Fragile X. My son had the genetics testing because he was adopted, exposed to drugs in utero, and had some dysmorphic features, but the tests ALL came back normal. However, he is on the autism spectrum, albeit quite high functioning. Nobody would guess he has any form of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), thanks to lots of early interventions.
