This genetic condition affects approximately 1 in 4,000 males and 1 in 8,000 females, and is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disabilities. Despite its prevalence, many people are still not familiar with this condition. However, thanks to passionate advocates and organizations dedicated to spreading awareness, more people are learning about Fragile X Syndrome and the individuals who live with it. So let's join together to show our support and spread knowledge about this important cause!
Take the time to learn about Fragile X syndrome and share what you learn with others. This can help raise awareness and understanding of the disorder.
Find a local organization or event that raises funds for Fragile X research and participate in it. This can be a walk, run, or other activity that supports a good cause.
Use your social media platforms to share information about Fragile X Awareness Month and how people can get involved. You can also share your personal connection to the disorder if you or someone you know is affected by it.
