Has anyone on here had their child tested and shown

I am mostly a lurker on this list. I read it because of my granddaughter,

Kayla, who has autism. I wanted to reply about the chromosome issue.

Kayla was born with the 2q chromosome deletion and 11q chromosome addition.

She has autism and is also physically handicapped. Her chromosome anomaly has

caused her many problems. She will be 15 in February.

It took me 10 years and the Internet to find others with her 2q deletion. I

managed to find about 25 children in the world with that deletion and they

were all affected by autism to some extent. So the 2q deletion is very rare.

Nope. I know a little boy with an extra partial chromosome 18 and I

know of a little girl with an extra partial 7, but those are the only

ones I know who have had any chromosomal abnormalities that were

identified.

We had genetic testing done that was normal in everything. I don't

know what tests were/weren't done, so don't know if this particular

one was done or not, the genetics center seems to think I'm too stupid

to need to know exactly what was done, despite my repeated requests to

provide a list.

Hi Shanna,

Kayla is basically low functioning. She does have speech, but limited to

what she wants to talk about which is " cars, trucks, and mats. " She repeats and

repeats over and over. She is a rocker. She rocks back and forth alot which

seems to keep her calm. She has always been a rocker.........since a baby.

She loves to go to school. She is very anxious as to what she is going to do

tomorrow. Every day she will say " after nite-nite, go to school. " Weekends

are hard for her because she wants to go to school. She is a very good eater.

And also sleeps all night long. These are her saving graces.

She is physically handicapped having femoral anteversion--that is the inward

twisting of the thigh bone causing knees and feet to turn inward. She is very

unsteady on her feet.

She will be needing extensive and very severe surgery and recovery to correct

this. She will be 15 in February and we keep putting the surgery off until

she will be able to handle it better. Probably never.

Anyone with any questions feel free to ask.

Grandma

Grandma , Thanks for filling us in on Kayla. I always think it

is interesting when our kids " want " to go to school. I am glad she

finds routine comforting.

About her upcoming possible surgery; is she going to the " Shriners

hospital " for this? They specialize in pediatric bone/burn issues.

One of my children had surgery this past year there and did great.

Does Kayla get ABA or speech therapy? How about OT?
