Carol = do you have a copy of that paper and the one that refutes it?

My daughter's biology teacher let me see her big wall poster that showed where

all the different genetic disorders are found. Chromosome 7 does have EDS VIIA2

on it as well as Osteogenesis imperfecta. I'd have to look up the other

chormosomes to see where the other types of eDS are. BTW Autism is not located

on Chromosome 7.

Sue Did you ever fill out my speech and language survey when it was on the net

last summer? If not, I'm still taking data. I can send you the survey as an

attachment in a private email. This goes for anyone else who hasn't filled it

out.

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

This is amazing. I have a multiple handicapped brother who is

developmentally delayed also with severe speach difficulty and ataxic

cerebral palsy! He is now 53 and lives in a group home-visiting us here 3-4

times a year.

Hi Bonnie:

I will fill out your speech and language survey if that will help.

Has anyone ever seen research on Hypermobile Joints and Developmental

Delay and/or Autism. It would be astounding to me that with Autism

causing the severe problems it does, that geneticists or others failed

to notice or research if there is a correlation or even do studies.

There is weird research done on very innocuous subjects. Or is there a

preference not to look to0 closely at autistic or developmentally

delayed persons?
