I'm new too.

Hi! I have a son with Fragile X Syndrome - only diagnosed at 4 1/2. That comes with some other challenges, but that kind of encompasses things. He has 3 other siblings too, so we have a lot of fun at home.

Looking forward to the support that this board can bring.

There are a fair number of moms here with chromosome disorder kids. I am sure you will find a lot of great support. I know I have.

Hi Joy. Welcome.

My 9 yr old has Asperger's Syndrome but his doc wants us to test for Fragile X. I don't have the $, unfortunately, but ds does have some of the markers.

I have an 8 yr old dd w/ SPD and anxiety and a 2 yr old who's just 2...

Nice to meet you!

Welcome!! A cousin of mine was suspected of having Fragile X, but then her microarray came back with a deletion and a duplication (still waiting on her CGG).

Hi!

I'm a long-time non-parent member here. I currently teach a kindergarten special education class, and provide 1:1 behavioral therapy for a variety of children. I have a boy in my kinder class who is 5 1/2 and has Fragile X. This is my first time meeting and interacting with someone who has it, and I am trying to learn all I can so that I can be the best teacher I can be for him.
