Description and predictors of self-determination in males and females with fragile X syndrome on the verge of adulthood.

Results from this study contribute to our understanding of avenues to best support young adults with FXS as they transition to adulthood. Our findings also have implications for practice, such that interventions targeting adaptive behaviours and self-determination may be an effective approach for promoting autonomy and independence for young adults with FXS. Additionally, caregivers and educators should continue to provide opportunities to practise self-determination, regardless of their perception of capacity.
