Autism Rates Higher in Achondroplasia Kids?

Just learned that kids with achondroplasia are showing higher rates of autism than expected! A big UK study found that if these kids have early developmental delays, they’re way more likely to need long-term special education support. It’s wild because achondroplasia isn’t usually linked to neurodevelopmental stuff, but this could change how doctors and parents look out for early signs. Early screening might be a game-changer for these families! #Parenting #Neurodiversity #AutismAwareness #Achondroplasia #SpecialEducation #Health
