Sample text

While many genetic abnormalities have been associated with a small subset of cases in autism, there are no specific treatments based on these. Mainly, the genetic testing is of most urgent interest to parents thinking of having another child sometime soon. Some pediatricians do not recommend a full karyotyping but do recommend testing for fragile X syndrome—once thought to be much more strongly associated with autism (and now understood to be present in about only half a percent of all cases of autism).

A child who repeatedly lines up toys and then does little else with them is often considered to meet this criterion. But if the child just so happens to be a three-year-old boy who loves Thomas the Tank Engine and endlessly puts Thomas on and off the track, gazing at his wheels, rolling him back and forth only slightly, it might be autism or it might not be. This is what Thomas the Tank Engine is made to do. Most Thomas paraphernalia is not purchased by parents of children with autism. If there were other examples, such as that the child lined up objects not usually lined up—like crayons and Legos and playing cards—and never colored, never built buildings or tried to play Go Fish, I would become increasingly concerned.

Some of these traits can be quite beneficial—like having a “math” brain, being quite dogged and persistent at a task once it is undertaken, and needing any job worth doing to be done well. This is not to say that any parent of a child with autism who is smart, works hard, or cares about the quality of his or her work product is being a bit autistic for being that way. It becomes a diagnosis only if it occurs to such a maladaptive degree that the individual cannot carry out the full range of tasks needed for daily living.
