My son aged 22 years is diagonised to be a case of X syndromes. He is not able to learn anything and also has some speech disability problem. While he maintains good health and overall good look, because of his speech diability and learning disability problems he is unable to lead an independent life. At present he is undergoing training in a Vocational Rehabilitation and Training Centre attached to a school for Metally Retarded children. There he is liked by the teachers as he is able to pick up the training given to him in items like making envelopes, book binding etc. While he understands and follows our directives, we sometimes find it difficult to understand his dialogues even after repeated attempts by him and at that point sometimes he becomes violent. I would like to know whether there is cure for this disability? Here doctors say that in certain cases of similar type, children become normal after certain age and hence no medicine is given. Is it true? Shall be grateful for your advice.
Reply: it will not be appropriate to think of a total cure. But with structured and long term remedial training including speech therapy, behr modification, one can hope to normalize the maximum possible limit.
