Fragile X Syndrome is a genetic condition caused by a mutation in the FMR1 gene, leading to intellectual disabilities and developmental challenges, while autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. Although individuals with Fragile X may exhibit autistic traits, not all individuals with autism have Fragile X. The two conditions can co-occur, but they have different underlying causes and diagnostic criteria. Overall, Fragile X is a specific genetic disorder, whereas autism encompasses a broader range of developmental variations.
