October is Rett Syndrome Awareness Month. 💜
Every individual with Rett syndrome is unique, and so are their symptoms and severity. These can include near-constant repetitive hand movements, seizures, scoliosis, digestive problems, and breathing issues. Symptoms most often begin with a period of regression as early as 6 months old, when parents begin to see their child miss development milestones and lose abilities they had already gained. Rett syndrome is not a degenerative disorder. Barring illness or complications, individuals with Rett can live into adulthood and beyond, but require lifelong care.
This October, we need your help to raise awareness and critical funds in our fight against Rett. Learn more and get started today at https://www.rettsyndrome.org/get-involved/raise-awareness/.
