Article Synopsis
- This study investigates sensory symptoms (SS) and hyperarousal signs (HA) in individuals with fragile X syndrome (FXS), analyzing data from a large registry to understand their impact from childhood to early adulthood and by gender.
- Findings reveal that males experience more severe SS and HA compared to females, with strong sensory responses correlating to higher rates of behavioral issues and comorbidities.
- The research highlights a shift in treatment approaches with age, showing decreased use of non-medication therapies and increased reliance on psychopharmacological treatments, emphasizing the need for further studies on how SS and HA contribute to behavioral difficulties in FXS.
