[quote=Anonymous]One of my kids just got diagnosed with ASD at age 2. The place that diagnosed her (major medical center in Midwest) is quite insistent that her (fraternal) twin sister should be tested due to "genetic risk". This seems ridiculous to me, since (a) no one is suggesting that my other kid has autism, not EI, not SLP, not NICU follow-up team, etc., and (b) she has no symptoms. She talks normally, is social, has no sensory issues, throws tantrums like a normal 2-year-old, but doesn't have extreme meltdowns or anything, no feeding issues, etc. Plus, I doubt that the risk is genetic-- the risk is that they were born at 25 weeks. Would you even bother to test her?[/quote]
