  • After having 8 children between the three of them, these sisters noticed something that was too strange to be coincidental. With some testing, the sisters realised they each have a rare genetic condition called 'Fragile X syndrome' which can passed down to their children and cause developmental disorders.

    As an early intervention special instructor, I found this video informative and even refreshing to hear families perspectives about their children. I have only worked with one child diagnosed with Fragile X syndrome in my over 30 years in my career. I found that the sensory and emotional issues were hardest to work with well. Unfortunately for the family involved 4 of 5 of their children were diagnosed, however the parents were so very helpful and attentive to their children's needs and taught me so much about how to work around their youngest child and his specific needs. These 3 sisters truly impressed me with their openness and I only hope their families see wonderful things from their children who by now are probably young adults. Be blessed.

    They keep saying it's not at all like autism but it sounds very similar to like a medium functioning autism to me bc autistic people can have issues socially, emotionally, have sensory issues, and if they are low or medium functioning they can have developmental delays. I guess the biggest difference is that autism isn't a genetic disorder. Oh and this is random but that forest school looks super fun. I would have loved to do that as a kid!

      I teach spec Ed and it can (depending on the child) be very much like autism. I’ve had children with Autism I’m my class that are very loving, etc. it’s a spectrum.

      It is simialr to autism. Btw high/low functioning is an outdated term. High or low support is a more inclusive term to use!

      I have trouble believing that autism is not genetic. It is all through my family. My Dad had it now I can see the way he behaved was exactly like my grandchildren. I have at least 6 grandchildren with autism and two kids. Autism is genetic

      @@patriciafisher1170 it is very widely known now that autism is genetic. somewhere between 40-80% of autism risk is caused by genetic factors.

    To the Mums, it's not your fault. You're doing great!
    Sometimes life throws a curve ball, you can either give up, or push back. You ladies are pushing back. You're doing the best you can, take time to be sad. To grieve, but continue to push back.
