Fragile X Awareness Day | NBC33 | WVLA  about an hour ago
I dont want people to feel sorry for us, or panic just because their child has autism and go demand the test from all the doctors in the area (wait, that part may not be bad!) but I guess if any of this helps just one family, then its worth it, right?

In all the excitement of Awareness Day dont forget to place your order. 20% of sales (my entire commission) I am donating BACK to the National Fragile X Foundation for all they do! 21 hours ago
Patricia Kisimore  and I met during our 6 months of training with the Louisiana Partners in Policymaking , an initiative of the LA Developmental Disabilities Council.  On June 19, 2010, we were honored to graduate with over 20 other Self-Advocates, Parents, advocates and families representing the developmental disabilities regions in our states.  As you see, 'Patty KK' is still advocating for her son, our son and others with developmental disabilities.  I am proud to recognize her 'uniquely different' family, legislative collaboration, fundraising strategies and media debut on Fragile X Awareness Day 2011!  ENJOY!
Note: As you may recall, I shared that 'Enjoying The Hi-5s of Autism-A Family Experience' launched as my Partners in Policymaking Graduate Project in June 2010.  This family blog is a precursor to 'Celebrating the ADA 20th Anniversary - the Social Networking Way'.  That social networking Facebook proclamation honored the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1991.  Less than a year post-graduation, I was appointed by Louisiana's Governor Bobby Jindal, confirmed by the Louisiana Senate and selected by the  Louisiana Developmental Disabilities Council to serve as a Parent Advocate for the LADDC . Partners in Policymaking (Louisiana) is accepting applications for the Class of 2012.

What is fragile X syndrome?

Fragile X syndrome is a genetic condition that causes a range of developmental problems including learning disabilities and cognitive impairment. Usually, males are more severely affected by this disorder than females.
Males and females with fragile X syndrome may have anxiety and hyperactive behavior such as fidgeting, excessive physical movements, or impulsive actions. They may also have attention deficit disorder, which includes an impaired ability to maintain attention and difficulty focusing on specific tasks. About one-third of males with fragile X syndrome also have autism or autistic-like behavior that affects communication and social interaction. Seizures occur in about 15 percent of males and about 5 percent of females with fragile X syndrome.

What other names do people use for fragile X syndrome?

  • FRAXA Syndrome
  • fra(X) syndrome
  • FXS
  • Marker X syndrome
  • Martin-Bell Syndrome
  • X-linked mental retardation and macroorchidism
For more information about naming genetic conditions, see the Genetics Home Reference Condition Naming Guidelines and How are genetic conditions and genes named? in the Handbook.
