I wouldn't recommend this book to someone who's child was newly diagnosed with fragile x but futher down the track it was interesting to read. Still hearttbreaking to think/see what the future will be when you have children with this condition.

As a new entrant teacher it gave me a chance to understand more fully what being the mother of a fragile-x child means
