Fragile X Syndrome is the leading genetic cause of Autism. It's caused by a mutation of the FMR1 gene responsible for cognitive and behavioral development. Fragile X is often passed on unknowingly. The month of July is Fragile X Awareness Month! An opportunity to continue to spread more awareness of Fragile X, and celebrate the organizations like FRAXA Research Foundation and The National Fragile X Foundation and their efforts to support and find effective treatments for individuals living with Fragile X. It's also an important opportunity to spread awareness of Fragile X to those who may not have otherwise heard of it. In this week's episode, I talk about the importance of awareness month, as well as an EXCITING special announcement! Tune in to find out more!

In this week's episode, I talk about the importance of Disability Employment Awareness Month, and how it's an opportunity to talk about the transition for our neurodiverse peers from high school to competitive integrated employment. Which is one of the biggest changes our neurodiverse peers face! For many of our children, routine is an essential part of their day to day lives. As well as a consistent environment. Both of these consistencies change once they face adulthood. As well as the opportunity for our neurodiverse individuals to experience employment and all that it entails. As a CRP (Community Rehab Provider), I talk about the challenges and successes that come with fighting to create inclusive employment opportunities for neurodiverse individuals. I also talk about how providers, educators and even families can be a part of preparing them for successful employment. You don't want to miss this episode!

Happy September! On this weeks episode of Talk FX I share some life updates and the importance of encouraging our neurodiverse peers to expand their comfort zones, and how I've been able to see this first hand. Tune in and subscribe to Talk Fragile X Podcast!
