Welcome to Connect, @snicoledenny. I'd like to introduce you to Lisa @lisapraska, who's son was also recently diagnosed with White-Sutton Syndrome. Click on Lisa's username to read more about her journey to getting to the diagnosis. I know Lisa would love to connect with you.

Nicole, Getting a diagnosis is often a journey with many twists and turns, and plenty of hard work on your part. What can you tell us about finally getting a diagnosis? How are you doing?

Hi @snicoledenny ! It’s nice to meet you! You’re daughter is the same age as my son- he has some special needs as well but we don’t actually have a name for what his genetic condition is. I’m curious to know how if this was the first time they ran a genetic screen for your daughter? We had one done when my son was about 3 when it was quite apparent that he was globally delayed but now (here in Ontario, Canada anyway) it seems that they are less likely to run a genetic screening as our kids age. I found it all easier to understand and come to terms with once we got the results. How have you managed? Are you both doing ok?
I’m so happy to see that you and @lisapraska managed to both find your way to Connect!

All my best!
