What is Rett Syndrome?
Rett Syndrome is the most severe of the Autism Spectrum Disorders. It predominantly affects girls. This devastating neurological disorder robs the girls of speech, purposeful hand movement, the ability to walk and plagues their lives with countless struggles with uncontrollable seizures, digestive complications and sleep deprivation. Approximately 8,000 girls are born with Rett Syndrome each year. It is as common as Cystic Fibrosis, ALS and Huntington's Disease. (Read more and watch a short video here.)
