Most children develop normally for their first year or so, and then parents start noticing changes\u2014like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Losing words or hand skills they once had<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repetitive hand movements (like clapping or wringing)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trouble walking or balancing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slowed head or body growth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be heartbreaking to see your child lose skills, but early support and therapy can make a big difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Rett Syndrome Families: Then &amp; Now\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kgk9X4yzGFw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Rett\u2019s Syndrome Differs from Autism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/ablestarsaba.com\/blog\/three-main-causes-of-autism\/\">autism can have many causes<\/a> and shows up in lots of different ways, Rett\u2019s syndrome has a clear genetic cause.
