Understanding Fragile X

Fragile X syndrome is an inherited genetic condition that causes intellectual disability, and behavioural and learning challenges.

Fragile X Disorders

Fragile X-associated Disorders are a family of inherited conditions caused by alterations (expansions) in the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome.

New! cards for Christmas season 2022

This year printed Christmas and Season’s Greetings cards are available to order here. These are a lovely way to re-connect with family and friends, and help us raise funds for our work in supporting the Fragile X community. The cards have a Christmas or Season’s Greetings message inside, and the Fragile X Australia logo on the back.

Understanding Behaviours | 2-part series

Fragile X specialist Dr Marcia Braden joined us for a 2-part discussion on understanding and supporting behaviours in Fragile X, particularly with regard to males who are living with Fragile X. The RECORDING of PART 1 is ONLINE NOW - covering how the neurobiology of Fragile X can result in difficult and challenging behaviours which impact daily living. In Part 2 Dr Braden on 12 November explained why traditional behaviour intervention does not often bring success in reducing difficult behaviours, and she carefully constructs a number of strategies to foster successful supports. The RECORDING of PART 2 will be ONLINE SOON.

Review of the past year

At our Annual General Meeting on Sunday 20th November we launched our latest Annual Report . It's a great look back on the past year's focus on supporting our community, educational webinars, advocating on testing and screening, raising awareness, fundraising and more!
