Rett Syndrome Symptoms, Causes, and Treatments

Diminished Eye Contact

If your daughters have Rett syndrome, then a diminished eye contact might be one of the earliest signs. This symptom would start before they reach 1 year old. Those parents who don’t have older kids might not be aware of this as they don’t have a familiarity with the usual behaviors and habits of infants. When a lack of eye contact starts after the toddler periods, many people would even mistake it for an indication of autism. To detect early and diagnose precisely, it is important to have the babies checked by an experienced doctor. [4]
