Young adult (Puberty)
The growth and development of the body of someone with MSS is normal. Puberty also occurs as normal. From puberty onwards, the bones do age faster than the rest of the body. As a result, they become brittle and can break more easily. The curvature of the spine also continues. This can cause more and more problems with movement. More or different aids are then needed to support standing and movement.
Little is known about the development of sexuality in children with MSS. However, you can always contact the Physician for the Mentally Handicapped (AVG) with questions about this.
