Interesting article. It talks about Fragile X and some experimental drugs that may help this condition-described as traffic jams in the brain.
I've lived with Autism my whole life, my dad's family is riddled with it, my ex-husband had it, and both of my children have it. This particular study was interesting to me because I can actually SEE when a neural "traffic jam" hits! It's like they all get stuck on some idea they have. Like a record player stuck on the same track…over and over…..and they can't let it go! It's such a crazy, frustrating thing. If this medication could control those neural "traffic jams" it would be wonderful and "meltdowns" wouldn't last so long.
