Today is #FragileX Syndrome Awareness Day. Here are some screenshots of a thread I did 7 yrs ago on the other place. #autism #epilepsy #hypermobility #etc

An illustration of a normal X chromosome compared to a Fragile X one. The bottom bits of the X look like they have rubber bands around them. This is the fragile site.
"Today is European Fragile X Syndrom Awareness Day. FX is a chromosomal abnormality and is the most common from of inherited learning disability. It's called FX as the end of the chromosome looks like it's about to drop off".I am a carrier of FX and E&T (our children who are now - that's in 2026 - 25 and 21) have the syndrome. As it is a prob with the X chromosome, boys are more affected than girls as they have not "good" X chromosome to balance out the dodgy one.
FX has been described as autism with bells on and can come with: epilepsy, autism, global developmental delay, social anxiety, echolalia, hypermobility, hypotonia (low muscle tone), ADHD, sensory issues and flat feet with a forward-leaning gait.
Carriers tend to have strong autistic traits (I also have OCD) and are significantly more likely to have chronic anxiety and depression than their neurotypical peers. They might also develop FX Tremor Associated Ataxia, premature ovarian failure and brain atrophy. Yay!T has severe learning disabilities, epilepsy, hypermobility, hypotonia and ADHD., He also has a cracking sense of humour and is a happy young man who, although he struggles to say whole sentences in English, can sing whole songs in English and French.
E has hypermobility and autism with moderate learning disabilities. She is hugely creative - there's a photo attached on a colourful painting she did years ago of an Indian prince, has the most wonderful sense of comic timing and last year won Student of the Year at college.

What do you think of our Recurrent #NeuralNetworks based on dendritic computation?
For time series prediction with long horizons (tested on Lorenz #attractor and #epilepsy #EEG) it performs better than #LSTM and #GRU

Uncovering #epilepsy genes could transform diagnosis and care.
This study identifies SBF1, CELSR2 and TENM1 as high-confidence candidate genes for #LennoxGastautSyndrome using individualized trio-based #exome analysis.

Happy to share our new preprint, led by Paul Dutchak! We explore RAPTOR-targeting ASOs to reduce dysregulated mTORC1 signaling in GATOR1-related epilepsy models, with relevance beyond epilepsy.

Telling someone new about your #epilepsy? Frame it as "let's talk about something important" rather than "I want to talk to you." The former invites a open dialogue. What advice would you give? #EpilepsyAwareness

@labelreads.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 4:21 PM

Living with #epilepsy often traps us in a strange middle ground: an invisible illness that doesn't "impress" anyone, yet deeply disrupts daily life. But who are we trying to prove ourselves to, exactly? Do you often find yourself asking, "Am I good enough?" #EpilepsyAwareness

Epilepsy affects everyone differently. Some people may find that problems with their mood can affect their epilepsy and how it is managed. How you feel may be different, and your view of #epilepsy may also change over time.

Rest after a seizure is a must for people with #epilepsy, but rest that comes with guilt usually doesn’t restore. Recovery planning works best when it’s permissioned and protected. Do those around you give you permission to rest as much as you need? #EpilepsyAwareness

DYK by 1929, 24 states had begun to #sterilize people to prevent alleged genetic defects? By 1958, they forcibly sterilized 60,926 people. By 1932, at least 26 states permitted #sterilization of “unfit” women & men for “… feeblemindedness, insanity, #epilepsy, idiocy,
