10 Angelman Syndrome Symptoms
Symptom #9: Aggressive Behavior
Aggressive behavior refers to behavior that can cause injury or harm to another individual. While individuals with Angelman syndrome are thought to have aggressive behavior, it does not mean that these individuals are intentionally trying to hurt another person.
A study found that about 7 out of 10 individuals show some degree of aggressive behavior. This research has also observed that individuals with Angelman syndrome are three times more likely to display aggressive behavior compared to others. Some aggressive behavior seen include hair pulling, hitting, scratching, kicking, biting, and more.
