My 3 and a half year old son is moderate autistic. We are currently offering him occupational therapy and behaviour therapy. One of the family friend who happens to be a doctor has mentioned something about chromosomal abnormality test. Not sure exactly what that means. Could you elaborate the reason for this test and whom to consult for this type of request.
