[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Show of hands as we are talking about the biology behind autism- how many here have sought out a FRAT test for their autistic family members?[/quote]

I am totally opposed to genetic testing that doesn’t have any benefit. so no, of course not. [/quote]

NP.  My kids have been diagnosed with a genetic syndrome that is associated with autism and they also have been diagnosed with autism.  Treating the genetic syndrome with prescription supplements and medication has really improved their autism.  There are no targeted gene therapies yet but they are working on it and it will happen soon, in the next couple years or decades.  Then other children like mine may be cured.[/quote]

Ok - but that is likely a completely different scenario than most people here, and possibly better conceptualized as a different diagnosis. Writ large there is absolutely zero reason to believe that there will be gene therapies for autism in the next couple of decades let alone years. [/quote]

Yeah, so let's just not research genetic links to autism. Must be a waste of time and also if we don't research them you'll be proven correct![/quote]
