Young adult phase

Young adult phase

Growth and development of the body are normal for a person with MSS. Puberty will start and from that moment onward the bones mature faster than the rest of the body. Their bones will become brittle and can fracture more easily. The curve of the spine will also continue to worsen, which can start to increasingly hinder movement. More or other aids will become necessary to support standing and moving. Little is known about sexual development of children with MSS. You can always ask the advice of a doctor specialized in intellectual disabilities.
