This is Rett syndrome..

This is a rare genetic neurological and developmental disorder that affects the way the brain develops.. This disorder causes a progressive loss of motor skills and language.. Rett syndrome primarily affects females..

Most babies with Rett syndrome seem to develop as expected for the first six months of life.. These babies then lose skills they previously had such as the ability to crawl, walk, communicate or use their hands..

Over time, children with Rett syndrome have increasing problems with the use of muscles that control movement, coordination and communication.. Rett syndrome can also cause seizures and intellectual disabilities.. Unusual hand movements, such as repetitive rubbing or clapping, replace purposeful hand use..

Although there's no cure for Rett syndrome yet..
