I am not sure where you got that information about Fragile X syndrome but it is wrong. Full Fragile X syndrome in males is absolutely debilitating. It does affect some males more than others but no male with a full Fragile X mutation is out there living a normal life.The Kellers have confirmed that Priscilla suffered a TBI at some point in early childhood, perhaps during birth. Priscilla is, in my opinion, not legally able to consent to marriage or sex, and is demonstrably illiterate. She is a sweet girl, and I think that she does seem to take adequate care of her kids with David's help, but it is a not-uncommon fundie belief that her genes are fine (she is in fact quite conventionally attractive), she is able to reproduce and keep sweet and be the ultimate helpmeet, so what is the issue?
Similarly Jill is having trouble marrying off the Rodlets not just because they are all clearly malnourished, abused and under-educated, but because David and a few of the boys have Fragile-X syndrome. Now, people with Fragile-X exist on a spectrum of disability and many live "normal" lives, but each and every Rod is damaged goods in Fundie Eugenics World. Think about how conventionally attractive her daughters and a few of the boys are, and how much Jill pimps them out. Not a lot of takers, and not just because Jill is a nightmare to deal with.
Maybe you are mixing it up with being a carrier for Fragile X without the full mutation or women with full fragile X (who are often close to 'normal' due to having another X chromosome that can pick up the slack)
Also, please think this phrase through: "David and a few of the boys have Fragile-X syndrome"
How exactly would David pass on Fragile X to his sons? Fathers only pass on a Y chromosome to male children.
