    Hi @scapaman -  & welcome to the community. It's great you have joined as a parent with a child with Fragile X syndrome & who's also autistic. We have other parents with children on the autistic spectrum, as well as adults with this, & there's a section here which you may like to look at. Please see: https://forum.scope.org.uk/categories/learning-disabilities-and-autism
    As far as Fragile X goes, have you looked at this charity, where there's a section relating to autism? : https://www.fragilex.org.uk/fragile-x-and-autism
    If we can help in any way, or if you have any questions, as mentioned by both Teddybear12 & Alex, then please do say, Dennis. :)
