Has your child received a diagnosis of Autism? Were they referred to a genetics counselor?

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends anyone with a developmental delay, intellectual disability or autism diagnosis get specific genetic testing for Fragile X syndrome, which can’t be picked up by microarray or exome sequencing.

According to Dean Hartley, Autism Speaks’ Senior Director of Discovery and Translational Science | December 16, 2019 "We recommend anyone with an autism diagnosis get genetic testing. Unfortunately, less than half of people with autism do. Current genetic testing will not give answers to everyone, but without testing we will not be able to give information to some individuals or families that could explain the possible cause of autism and possible future medical conditions."
