Hi can anyone advise about the genetic testing mentioned in some of the posts? How and where do we get it and what does it prove.

I have a 15 year old daughter struggling at school and doing GCSES.

Regards

Hi it is used sometimes as part of diagnostic process as it rules out ither conditions which could be causing issues. Do you have a diagnosis? If struggling specially with school talk to the FASD Trust as they do teacher training and suppport in schools. Look at fasdinwducation.co.uk
