  • What is Fragile X Syndrome?

    NDIS Fragile X Syndrome

    Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a genetic condition caused by a change (mutation) in the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome. This gene is responsible for producing a protein essential for normal brain development. When the gene is altered, the body eventually produces too little of this protein or nothing at all, leading to the developmental and behavioural characteristics associated with Fragile X. FXS is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability and a leading genetic cause of autism-like traits. Individuals with Fragile X may experience challenges with learning, communication, attention, social interaction, and sensory processing. Physical features may include large ears, flexible joints, and a long face, although these can vary widely. 

    The condition affects both males and females, but males often present with more noticeable symptoms due to having only X chromosome. While Fragile X is a lifelong condition, early intervention, structured support, and consistent therapy can make a significant difference. Through the NDIS, individuals with Fragile X in Perth can access tailored supports such as behaviour therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, social skill development, and daily living assistance. With the right guidance and a supportive environment, people with Fragile X Syndrome can learn, grow, and lead fulfilling lives.
