What Is Fragile X Syndrome

What Is Fragile X Syndrome
Fragile X Syndrome is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability. It results from a mutation in the FMR1 gene that stops the production of a vital brain protein (FMRP)which can lead to developmental, learning, and behavioral issues like anxiety, ADHD, and autism-like traits. Unfortunately, there is no cure for Fragile X Syndrome, but the good news is that early interventions like speech, occupational, and physical therapy and medications for mental health disorders or ADHD can significantly help manage symptoms, improve skills, and enhance the quality of life of people who have this syndrome. Oh and ongoing research is currently exploring gene therapies for people living with Fragile X Syndrome.

Menstruation Management / Autism / ID

Hi caregivers!☺️
My name is Shannon. I am an occupational therapy student with my bachelors of science in special education.

I am currently seeking participants for a capstone research study. The aim of my research is to gather information about how school based instruction has impacted student’s ability to acquire skills needed to perform menstrual management tasks. This information is anonymously gathered through caregivers perspectives. Menstruation management significantly impacts quality of life, health, and school attendance of students. With information gained, I hope to one day transform how occupational therapists and school personnel can better promote autonomy of these women through intervention that meets their individualized needs. If you or anyone you know might be interested in participating in a short Zoom interview, please feel free to reach back out to me.
I need your help to shine light on this topic. #Autism #AngelmanSyndrome #FragileXSyndrome #Caregiving #SpecialNeeds #menstration

Please comment if interested. Thank you!! This study is IRB approved, I can email the flyer to those interested !

Hi, my name is buskinsleggings. I'm here because I want to find more ways our leggings can help those with sensory issues. My family has the Fragile X gene and I have seen first hand the difference comfortable clothing can make as well as have heard from customers how they finally found something their kids will wear when jeans and other clothing is too rough feeling for their skin.

Hi, my name is LorOfTheRings7. I'm looking for help dealing with being undiagnosed for certain things, while diagnosed for some and for help coping with those things while my kids have all been diagnosed with Fragile X Syndrome.

Therapy #FragileXSyndrome #

Today, I quit therapy. I was the failure. Plus the therapist did not want me either. I need therapy, but it is too hard for me.
