The only genetic testing i know of which there could he more is the genesight test that tests for what medications work best for the body. What dna test are they recommending?

It's to see if there is a genetic cause for autism in your child, I believe there are meant to certain chromosome abnormalities that are more likely to be picked up in a child with autism or other genetic diseases that are only found this way.

@Grace do you know what this testing is called?

They just call it genetic testing, it's a blood test. We were offered it when my son received his official diagnosis, you don't have to accept but cause there is a family history in our case it was recommended by the paediatrician but it can take up to a year we were told.
