I'm not buying it, PP.  Most of these genetic disorders although they may affect language will have other markers like physical traits:

The only reliable health information source that comes up on google for 1 in 500 is this:

My guess is that your kid is autistic and the genetic testing didn't reveal anything.[/quote]

Not all kids have autism.  Except the ones you consistently diagnose.  [/quote]

Didn't diagnose anything.  Myself and another poster is asking the PP which genetic disorder "looks like autism" and affects "1 out of 500 kids." [/quote]

I am not the PP but perhaps they mean Fragile x.

Probably not...About 1 in 4,000 males and 1 in 8,000 females have Fragile X syndrome.
