Index Number: 11259 Butch, did you get the two magazines I sent you -- "This Mouth Has A Brain"? If so, did you find the material hostile? I have a friend whose sister has a five year old with Fragile X Chromosome Syndrome. She has been getting the run-around from "I don't know." to "Learning Disabled." to "Mentally Impaired." to "<mumble....>". K.O., now it is my turn to ask for assistance as to where I should post my plea for assistance and advice for Connie <--the sister. Is this a Rare Disorder? Would a prestigeous Medical College/Center give her better advice about schooling, equipment and what to expect in the future? I hate to see her take Nicholas <--the five-year old) to "Smith" General Hospital IN NEVADA...when there is UCLA, Tufts, Baylor, NIH, Boston's Childrens' and a whole raft of other -good- hospitals. Where should I post this plea? ---Sheila. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!157!3!Sheila.Fava Internet: Sheila.Fava@f3.n157.z1.fidonet.org
