send you some written information (in NSW there is a booklet called 'Fact Sheet for Teenagers' which explains HD in plain English and not too many words), which you can give to friends to read. I hope this information is helpful. If not let us know and we will try to help further.

Michelle getting geneticly tested Sarah (25) has just sent in a question. Name: Sarah Age: 25 Question: Hi! I am thinking about getting geneticly tested (my mum has huntingtons disease). I don't know if I should tell my mum though. She is currently displaying symptoms of the disease and when I hypothetically asked her what she would think if I decided to get tested, becuase I'm getting to the age of thinking about starting a family, she said I was too young and started saying ridiculous statements that didn't make any sense- about how I could just genetically test my child and not me. She did say she would want to know I was doing the test though. I don't know what I should do, to tell my mum I'm going to do the test or not. I'm worried she will break down if it's positive and I'm not sure if she can take it emotionally, because I'm not sure if her thinking is 100%, but is it morally wrong if I don't
