Underdiagnosis of autism in children with fragile X syndrome reveals need for better education, early screening
E Bluvas, Medical Xpress, August 2023

From the article: A recent study "conducted comprehensive, best-practice clinical autism diagnostic assessments in young males (ages 15-24) with fragile X syndrome (i.e., the most common single-gene cause of autism spectrum disorder and other intellectual disabilities). The study found that, although 75 percent of participants met criteria for autism through the research protocol, only 31 percent had been identified as having autism in the community."
