A 3- generation : family history of Autistic Spectrum Disorder certainly validates your query. Has any diagnosed family member had a chromosomal microarray & a DNA Probe for Fragile X, the current standard genetic testing for anyone with ASD who has no Neurodevelopmental Disorder known to have ASD as part of its profile? If so, obtain the results for pre-conceptional genetic counseling. Find out, if you can.
