Thank you for your question and welcome to FriendsOfQuinn.com.
I have noticed you have many questions on whether your diagnosis is correct. It would be best to speak with your doctor about your concerns. He or she would be better able to explain the similarities and differences between VCFS, Phelan-McDermid Syndrome and how autism fits into this.
In the meantime, according to Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases "Features common
to VCF and Phelan-McDermid syndrome include hypotonia, broad nasal root, epicanthal folds, narrow palpebral fissures, renal abnormalities, speech delay, and developmental delay."
Please talk with your doctor and let us know how you are doing and what your doctor says.
