Rett Syndrome Symptoms, Causes, and Treatments

Intellectual Disability

Since children with Rett syndrome cannot move their hands properly or speak, it can be challenging to demonstrate their intelligence. That’s why intellectual disability is one of the most distinctive symptoms of this disorder. However, this does not happen for all of the cases. In fact, some kids might also be very smart when they suffer from the condition. They might understand everything parents and other people do or say. However, the development would be slower and harder. [5]
