Cissy talks about a very busy little guy with whom she was lucky enough to work. This young boy was diagnosed with Fragile X Syndrome. In the episode, she talks about the doctor saying that his self-injurious and aggressive behaviors were linked to his Fragile X diagnosis. Please note that not all individuals with Fragile X Syndrome are self-injurious or aggressive. In fact, many do not show any aggression. This was the opinion of that doctor at that time. Stephen (as she calls him in the episode) taught her as much as she taught him. Have a listen and stay for the ABA question at the end.
