10 Angelman Syndrome Symptoms
Symptom #3: Developmental Disability
Developmental disability refers to a diverse group of chronic disorders that are caused by physical or mental impairments that begin before adulthood. These disabilities result in difficulties especially in language, self-help, learning, mobility, and independent living. These disabilities can be detected in the early stages of life and persist throughout the affected individual’s lifespan. If it affects all areas of development, it is referred to as global developmental delay.
Some of the patients affected experience fragile X syndrome, Down syndrome, pervasive developmental disorders, cerebral palsy, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, intellectual disability, and Angelman syndrome.
