When mutated, the brain does not develop correctly. It impacts boys and girls, usually affecting boys more severely, and causes developmental delays, intellectual disability, anxiety, and hyperactivity. It's (currently) the most common genetic cause of autism spectrum disorder.  There is overlap, in that some individuals with FXS may have autism, and some may not.
Characteristics common to both autism and FXS include poor eye contact, social deficits, atypical language and repetitive behaviors.  The core deficit in autism is social interaction.  The core deficit in FXS is intellectual function and hyperarousal/anxiety.  A key point related to these differences: People with FXS
tend to be deeply desirous of human interaction, but the social anxiety that also
typifies the condition often causes them to act otherwise, which prevents success. ]]> 2020-08-10 20:07:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/akyz3ck97vjvplcg/wish/674792518 Medical Information lynette_serjeant1 https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/akyz3ck97vjvplcg/wish/674793141 2020-08-10 20:08:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/akyz3ck97vjvplcg/wish/674793141 Strengthening the learning environment lynette_serjeant1 https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/akyz3ck97vjvplcg/wish/674794011 2020-08-10 20:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/akyz3ck97vjvplcg/wish/674794011 Features of Fragile X lynette_serjeant1 https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/akyz3ck97vjvplcg/wish/674795016 Hyperactivity
