Editorial Review
Elizabeth Griffin's son Zack has fragile X syndrome-the most common known cause of inherited mental impairment-and is among the 20 percent of people with fragile X who have autism. Whether you are a parent of a child with special needs or you struggle with unresolved grief, chronic stress, or depression, "Fragile X, Fragile Hope" shows without a doubt that you can survive, and more than survive, you can find your way back to a joy-filled life.

Customer Reviews

Very good and encouraging

2008-06-09
As the mother of a newly diagnosed child with Fragile X, I found this book very encouraging. It doesn't hide the difficulties of life with a child with special needs, but she reminded me that there is hope.

It was a fairly easy read. I think I finished it in one day.

Not Just for Special Needs Parents

2004-11-10
First off, I'm a bit biased as Elizabeth is my sister-in-law and Zack is my nephew. But even so, I was wasn't expecting to relate much with Elizabeth except in terms of family history and common experiences. I found however that my wife and I had shared many of the same frustrations, worries and anxieties with our own three kids, albeit on a much smaller scale. My point is that I think all parents and even would-be parents would get something out of this book. They will relate to much of Elizabeth's story and at the same time will gain valuable perspective on special-needs families. I'd also say this book is a must for any child care professional. Finally, it's a great read! Elizabeth has a very rich, dynamic and engaging writing style that draws you in. I could barely put it down and finished it in two sittings. Get a copy for yourself and one for a freind!
