This wonderful video was created to celebrate Mother’s day. The YouTube video is composed of photos of mothers with their children who are impacted by Fragile X Syndrome. Many of the photos were submitted by parents who are part of the international Fragile X community on Facebook.

Thanks to Holly Roos and Melissa and Eric Wellin for the time, effort and creativity it took you to put this video together.

For a comprehensive selection of videos relating to Fragile X please see my Fragile X  YouTube playlist

I have just added a page to the site called “Video Clips” which can be found under the Resources Menu. The page includes links to YouTube videos on Fragile X Syndrome and we will update this as new ones are uploaded. If you know of any Fragile X videos or slide shows on sites other than YouTube please let us know and we will consider including these too.

I have also created a Fragile X group on YouTube where members can add relevant videos; which they have either created themselves or have discovered and saved to a playlist. There are some delightful videos created by parents of kids with Fragile X including the one displayed below.

If you have an inclination to create one yourself, as I am after seeing this, there are some online video creation sites that make the process simple. For example, One True Media, Toufee and Jumpcut.

We will be featuring one of the videos in this news section from time to time.
