What Is Turner Syndrome?
8. Learning Disabilities
Most patients with Turner syndrome will have no difficulties when it comes to learning and other cognitive issues. However, there is still an increased risk of people with the condition having some difficulties when it comes to learning. These tend to involve a short attention span, memory problems, difficulties understanding spatial concepts, and math.
Turner syndrome will also make it more likely that the patient will go on to develop mental health issues. This can include conditions like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). While this may not be as debilitating as some other mental health conditions, the patient can still struggle in some environments such as social occasions.
