Going to dispute the comment about FXS having no physical problems or issues. Not at all true. Curvature of the femoral bones, an odd "gait", not being able to skip or broad jump, testicle and ovarian issues, high pallets, oral issues, thyroid issues, eating disorders, tremors later in life, early menopause, headaches, eyes deteriorate earlier in some cases, teeth are rarely in good shape, mental issues , heart issues,... I could go on...

My brother has fragile x and I'm a genetic carrier myself. Luckily I don't want children because I would never want to deal with the stuff my parents had to deal with. It is difficult enough to be a sibling. It's like living with a perpetual child. I have noticed that animals is a great help for them. Especially horses. Since my brother started riding his confidence went up and his vocabulary expanded. He also learned how to express his emotions through words to some extent. All that just from sitting on a horseback.

I had not heard about Fragile X before this video. Thank-you for a bit of information. Andy seems so joyful and caring. Best wishes for him, his family and friends.

I feel for the father but he's in denial. there is absolutely something wrong physically with people who have this.

I went to school with someone with fragile x. Man he was so cool and always remembered everyone's name.

Great video,this helped me to understand the Fragile X syndrome better as a medical student. Andy seems to be a great man and Props to his parents for sharing this video. Lots of love to their family .

Andy seems so pleasant and kind. ❤

Anyone who loves Animals is ALRIGHT with Me! My Father, who has always been mentally ill, once said. To me, "Roberta, if someone dosent like Animals, watch out!". How right my Dad was..

My 26 grandson has fragile x and he has all the indicators Andy does. My ex-husband is a carrier and now has fragile x ataxia and has dementia. We knew nothing about this condition until my grandson was nearly two years old. I worry or My grandsons future. Who will care for him? He has extreme anxiety. His mother, my daughter has breast cancer and mental health issues, and lives on the other side of the country.

He’s so sweet!

I have fragile x syndrome myself and so does my twin brother

It runs in my family and I can relate to this video part of my family has this I’m a carrier so is my mom, my sister and so on so forth it’s very interesting to learn this 😊

Love from Sri Lanka Andy

God Bless Him and his lovely Mom..

My son also has FX, support for this disability is close to none here in the Philippines. The only way to communicate with him is to ask questions that only need a yes or no answer.

I can relate.

My brother's both ate the same! Both amazing!

My son,Jesse has Fragile X Syndrome,he's 36,and I just got him back. I am a carrier of FXS,and as almost 55. I was shocked to realize how much my son has declined since he graduated high school, apparently no one has taken the time to work with him,& the day program he was in ,must not have either. It took two years in grade school to get him to comprehend money. He can't now. He has become grossly overweight,which is due to a thyroid condition left undiagnosed for years,his lack of activity and his severe compulsion to hoard food, Now that I have him living with me,I am left struggling to figure out how to do ANYTHING A with this CHILD. Any advice for me?

🥰

My xbf that I broke up with told me I should not have kids before I get test I told i don’t have it he doesn’t believe me

Can he count to potato though?
