5-0 out of 5 stars A must have for any parent of a child with Fragile X.....
This is a wonderful book. It is the first that I read after finding out my two children have Fragile X. You'll find yourself referring to it often during your journey. Jayne Dixon Weber really gives you insight on many different issues. My son's teacher even bought a copy for herself.

5-0 out of 5 stars Telling it like it is....
Jayne Dixon Weber has been there.....she KNOWS what it's like to raise a child with fragile x syndrome. I met her on a trip to Denver with my son, also affected by FXS, and was impressed by her. All of that comes through in the firm grasp of the facts in her book. It's hard to describe this life to someone who hasn't been there, and Jayne does a remarkable job. I find her work to be professional and compassionate. I think this book would be a wonderful addition to a parent's library as well as that of educator, social worker, doctor, etc. It's a VALUABLE personable easy to read book, from a true veteran. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars An honest, real look at fragile X from nearly every perspective.
What stands out about this book is the utterly honest writing about the ups and downs of having fragile X syndrome in your family.Fathers, mothers, grandparents, siblings, caregivers, researchers and doctors describe how fragile X challenged them personally and professionally. They have all risen to the occasion and garnered knowledge or perspective they didn't have before.In the interest of full disclosure, I wrote one of the stories in this book but can honestly say that I wish a book like this had been available when my son was diagnosed with fragile X syndrome five years ago. It is full of real-life, useful information that covers many generations. ... Read more

Description:
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that represents the most common known cause of developmental delay. Recent neuropsychological findings indicate that females with FXS present with a specific pattern of cognitive deficits and that these difficulties primarily involve skills requiring executive control. The present study is the first to examine the extent to which neural activity of females with FXS can be observed on a task that specifically taps two core deficits, namely switching and response inhibition. Brain activity was measured using both event-related electrical potentials (ERPs) and event-related functional MRI (fMRI) neuroimaging in separate studies using the same cognitive paradigm. Compared to controls, females with FXS were significantly slower and made more errors on trials that required an immediate response (Go) to stimulus onset but were comparable on trials that required a delayed response (Wait) to stimulus onset. At the brain level, several areas showed significantly greater activation for females with FXS compared with controls, including the cingulate cortex and left and right ventral prefrontal areas. In contrast, no areas were found to show significantly greater activation for controls compared with females with FXS. ... Read more
