10 Rett Syndrome Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Difficulty Communicating
Babies with Rett syndrome often develop extreme difficulty with communication. They tend to have trouble especially with spoken language and body language but will use intense staring as a means to communicate.
Because of their difficulty in communication, they often lose interest in the people around them. They may seem quite antisocial because they have shortened attention spans a do not tend to want to play. Obviously, it’s important to give them as much—if not more—love than you would to any other baby. This can encourage them to continue trying to communicate.
