His developmental milestones were partially delayed with sitting at 13½ months, crawling at 14 months, walking at 16 months, saying words at 1 year, and phrases at ~30 months. He had a history of ASD in addition to psychiatric diagnoses including bipolar disorder, Tourette syndrome or chronic tic disorder, and OCD. He had also had four psychiatric hospitalizations in 2004 and twice in 2006. His full scale IQ was of 110. At age 24 he developed significant catatonia and was treated with several sessions of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) with a good response. He had not tolerated antipsychotic medication well and he was eventually treated with lithium and clonazepam.
Case 7 was a 22-year-old Caucasian male with a full mutation with methylation mosaicism. At age 12 he showed intermittent psychotic symptoms with hearing voices in his head. At the last visit to our clinic at age 22, he had anger outbursts, attentional problems, and impulsivity and he also had a tendency to be a loner. He had some facilitated and repetitive speech, he might say “I hate you” or “I want to kill you,” which can be an automatic speech pattern typical of individuals with FXS. He showed several symptoms of an anxiety disorder and significant OCD with sexual obsessions. He had been treated with atypical antipsychotics including aripiprazole currently and risperidone in the past.
