What is SYNGAP1?

 What is SYNGAP1?

This is another condition when the person’s gene changes. 

SYNGAP1 is one of those rare conditions. 

No one knows why this happens and why the gene changes.

It is the same as Global development where it slows down people’s

 basic skills like babies and children.

For e.g.; walking, talking, holding objects and maybe more.

Why is it a different name? There must be something different for a different

 condition to have roughly the same signs as another condition.

It affects how people feel, how they behave, and the way they are with people. 

Therefore, it may affect their mental health, so we need to find out how.

Not many people will need a lot of support because of a learning disability

 but they may find it hard to listen to people for a long time, 

they may find it hard to do things for a long time, 

some people may do things without thinking about it,

some may hit themselves or and hit others so please protect all safety,

 they also may need mental health support but 

this may not affect everyone who faces the condition that way.

They may face challenging behavior. 

The condition may affect the muscles for walking, talking etc.

Some people may face Epilepsy.

Some may face Autism.

Some may struggle with eye contact, bright lights,

 they may do the same thing a lot, 

they may struggle with nose, everyday loud sounds,

 they may flap,

 bite themselves such as hands,

 nails and arms a lot.

Most people may not feel pain until it is very bad.

They may look shocked and surprised even at times you may not except them to be.

Some people may have big eyebrows.

Some people may have big gabs between their eyes.

It can be hard to find out if your child

 has this condition or anyone you know come across,

 etc.

If you are concerned that you or someone is your life is showing signs of

 this condition or any of the conditions I am writing about please try to look for support or other problems,

 if it is someone and not you please talk to them about it first or someone in their care etc.

even if you may be concerned if you have the condition.

Talk to a doctor, try to get a blood test, if it is someone not you

 and you are not supporting them, speak to 

the person who is if you feel the person 

they don’t understand you. 

Children may not sit alone, 

they may not walk quickly,

 they may not talk quickly or not at all.

Some people may face eating and or feeding difficulties.

They may need to eat through a tube to their stomach.

With the right support they may be able to lead a happy life. https://syngapuk.org/
