The aim of this study is to utilize neurophysiologic assessments, behavioral measures and clinical measures to assess how much deficits associated with Fragile X Syndrome from pre-dose to post-dose using pharmacology.

Change in EEG Relative Gamma Power
EEG relative gamma power at rest was calculated as the percent of power in the gamma frequencies relative to the sum of power in all frequency bands, averaged across electrodes, and calculated separately at pre-dose and post-dose timepoints. To assess the impact of drug, the pre-dose relative gamma power was subtracted from post-dose relative gamma power. Higher numbers indicate more relative gamma power post-dose; lower numbers indicate more relative gamma power pre-dose.
Time frame: Pre-dose, 3-hour post-dose
Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement
The Clinical Global Impressions - Improvement (CGI-I) requires the clinician to assess how much the patient's illness has changed relative to pre-dose, from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).
Time frame: Pre-dose, 3-hour post-dose
Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement-Caregiver
The CGI-I requires the caregiver to assess how much the patient's illness has changed relative to pre-dose, from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).
Time frame: Pre-dose, 3-hour post-dose
Visual Analog Scale - Caregiver
The parent or caregiver will be asked to assess how much anxiety the participant is expressing on a line between two endpoints (no anxiety to worsened anxiety).
Time frame: Pre-dose, 3-hour post-dose
