I'm in a medical profession that delivers services to the autistic community. Never in our training did we learn that Fragile X is a cause of autism, let alone the primary cause.

I've never delivered services to a client that had a diagnosis of both fragile x and autism.

Most autism clients that I see are severely disabled and not fragile x. Every once in a while we get an HFA client. Again, no fragile x. The Asperger's individuals that I come across in the clinic will tend to be clinical professionals, not clients. They are never in for services. But they aren't common either.
