Response on dog-lover6164's Blog About Fragile X Syndrome

Fragile X Syndrome is a disease where patients can have mental retardation, ADHD, and autistic-like behavior. I feel sorry for people with this disease because it might often prevent them for achieving their dreams. Also, certain people discriminate against them. This is rude and wrong. Some other symptoms also include depression, broken or slurred speech, or no attempt at communication. I have noticed this with some people I know and try my best to help them. I still wish that there is more that I could do for them. Even though there is no cure, I hope they find one soon. There are treatments, but I don't think that these are doing enough, though I do not know for sure. I am happy that they live a normal life-span. I think that it is sad that it happens more in male than females, though I am glad that I am less likely to get this disease. I think that the beginning of this blog is very clear, but the end is confusing. I want to learn more about helping people with this disease. I hope that they do find a cure, the sooner, the better!
