We have not had any genetic testing done, was not even mentioned. However, we have had 6 months of therapy and then Saturday, a full days worth of psychological and intelligence testing. People often have a look of shock when I tell them she has ASD. She's too smart they say. She's so talkative, she looks at you when she talks. But she has so many issues, issues that only those of us close to her would see on a regular basis. Issues that really showed when she started public schooling. And I never knew about any of these possible genetic reasons. Jaundice is interesting. My daughter was basically a yellow orange from birth until a year old. She was constantly jaundiced and nothing made it better. Makes me wonder now. But she came out with major sensory issues. She screamed at every little touch or sound from the moment she was born. So many sleepless days and nights. I'm rambling now. *sigh* Thanks for this blod post however. I will look into the testingCrystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08851668289842712740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487608420720365177.post-52064211268485921572014-03-28T07:35:04.494-07:002014-03-28T07:35:04.494-07:00I agree with this article.

He does have MTHFR Mutation. 40-50 % of Americans have this, but I read that 90-98 % of people with Autism have it. It can cause someone to be low in Vitamin B12, Folic acid, and B6. These vitamins help the body detoxify. We will always accept him, but we look at Autism as something that gets in his way of living independently. There is something causing it. We always saw his potential. We also saw him lose skills for a while. The further we get through therapy, including diet and vitamins,the more we get to know him.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487608420720365177.post-58343533748235583752014-03-28T07:03:48.605-07:002014-03-28T07:03:48.605-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Torah Observant Gentilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211390243030025795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487608420720365177.post-35238344404591427022014-03-28T06:42:55.230-07:002014-03-28T06:42:55.230-07:00Omg....a voice of reason this week! My son is one ...Omg....a voice of reason this week! My son is one of the few I know was tested for Fragile X....Rhetts and a few others. When talking with other parents I can't believe how few had genetic testing done. He tested as not having any of those genetic markers, but still has Autism. I can't believe how few had extensive testing done. My son's diagnosis testing took a total of eight hours. I posted an article about a study the San Diego University just published that found changes in the surface of the brain. I was pretty much bashed for it by the anti-vaccination crowd.
