Since Euan is now 4, our family has been invited to participate in a genetic study at the Hospital for Sick Children here in Toronto. They were looking for mulitple diagnoses in single families -- but the participants had to be between the ages of 4 and 18.
So, on Thursday, we will spend the day at Sick Kids, where the boys will undergo physical, academic and IQ testing, and then Brian and I will have some generalized testing as well. Afterwards, we will all have some bloodwork done....Even our parents and siblings will have the bloodwork done.
I am excited to be participating in such a long term study that is focussing on understanding the spectrum -- not curing it. (Anyone who knows me will realize this is a huge issue for me. I celebrate my children and am not looking to "cure" them.)
So we'll see what happens and let you know. All I know is that my hand has severly cramped from all of the forms and questionnaires I have completed in preparation! ;)
