What Is Rett Syndrome?
6. Stage 3
Stage 3 is also known as the plateau stage and it usually starts when the patient is between 2 and 10 years old. This stage can last for years. During this stage, the patient is likely to see some improvement in their condition, particularly when it comes to behaviour.
The patient may be able to communicate better with other people, and they may become less irritable and cry less often. However, there is less likely to be any improvement in their ability to move. The patient may also begin to suffer from seizures at this stage, although these seizures are unlikely to happen before the patient is 2 years old.
