10 Rett Syndrome Symptoms
Symptom #2: Coordination Problems
Another of the most common problems associated with Rett syndrome is coordination difficulty. As we mentioned earlier, babies with Rett syndrome often develop normally for about 6 months and then they slowly begin to show signs of developmental difficulties. After this, many babies begin to demonstrate slowed development of motor control.
This often first manifests as an inability to properly use their hands. After this, babies often lose their ability to crawl or walk as well as they could before. Babies tend to lose these abilities quite quickly at first; progression slows afterward.
