I have just finished reading Quinn's book, "A Different Life" and it has given me hope. Although my son has not yet been officially diagnosed with VCFS, after reading his book and finding info on the NIH website, I have a strong suspicion that the current work up will confirm it. It's frustrating as a parent knowing that although your child appears normal, there's something that you can't quite put your finger on. My son is 13 years old and has been diagnosed with ADHD and dyspraxia. The learning disabilities that wax and wane, and negotiating them through the school system and trying to get them what they need is like banging your head against the wall. It's a weight off my shoulders now knowing that there's a support system like this!
