[QUOTE="totoro, post: 29828, member: 3155"] My husband has a distant cousin who has Fragile X and my mother in law freaked out when she found out... but once we did research we realized the genetic link was on the non-related side of the family. But if there is a chance it is good to know the facts. I know it is hard to hear all of these possible diagnosis's and it is scary to think that he could have a label put on him. It was really hard for my husband to come to terms with our difficult child and her diagnosis. I was a bit more ready for it due a serious family history... but husband and his family have issues but don't want to face up to them nor deal with them and have been this way forever. Midwestmom is right, the earlier the better, and hey maybe they would come up with something that you can handle and don't think is so horrible... like it is just sensory issues... you never know. But it can hurt to not find out. It really does get easier, I never thought I would be comfortable thinking or saying my daughter has Mental Illness but it does get easier and I am OK with it. I am here to help her. [/QUOTE]
