Which of the following is a characteristic of individuals with Fragile X syndrome?

  1. High intelligence

  2. Hand biting

  3. Exceptional artistic ability

  4. Advanced social skills

The correct answer is: Hand biting

Individuals with Fragile X syndrome often exhibit certain behavioral characteristics, one of which can include hand-biting. This behavior can stem from various factors such as sensory processing issues, anxiety, or challenges with emotional regulation commonly associated with the syndrome. In contrast, characteristics such as high intelligence, exceptional artistic ability, or advanced social skills are not typically associated with Fragile X syndrome. In fact, individuals with this condition may experience intellectual disabilities and often struggle with social interactions, making hand-biting a more relevant and recognizable behavior in this context.
