What Is Rett Syndrome?

The next stage, stage 2, is also known as the rapid deterioration stage. This stage will usually start between the ages of 1 and 4 years old, and it can occur over weeks or months. When the patient enters this stage, they can start to lose any skills and abilities that they had already learned.
The patient will also start showing some of the typical symptoms of Rett Syndrome, and the condition is more likely to be noticed now if it has not been noticed already. The patient may also be socializing and interacting less than they usually would, and they can start crying and screaming for no apparent reason.
