This study assesses adaptive and maladaptive behaviour in a sample of 68 adults. The Spanish version of the Adaptive Behaviour Scale: Residence and Community (ABS-RC:2) was applied to 30 subjects with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) and 38 subjects with Down Syndrome (DS) aged between 25 and 57. The results show that adults with FXS score higher than do those with DS in some adaptive behaviours, such as physical development and economic activities while scoring less than adults with DS in self-direction. Adults with FXS show more stereotyped behaviours, hyperactivity, and social isolation, but less trustworthiness and disturbing interpersonal behaviours than do those with DS. A relation was found between both behaviours in DS: the higher the scores in maladaptive behaviour, the lower those in adaptive behaviour. However, no such relation was found in individuals with FXS.
