A comparison of functional academic and daily living skills in males with fragile X syndrome with and without autism

Conclusions and implicationsThese data provide important information on the mastery of both foundational and more complex adaptive skills in males with FXS. Both functional academic and daily living skills were predictive of measures of independence above and beyond other child and family characteristics. These findings point to the need to focus interventions to support the attainment of independence in males with FXS.
