5. Rett Syndrome Symptoms: Social Anxiety
The social anxiety experienced by the small children affected by Rett Syndrome can cause a tremendous feeling of being overwhelmed and alone. They may start to avoid eye contact, regress from contact with people and, as their power of speech declines, lose the will to try to speak. Because of these symptoms, Rett Syndrome is often wrongly diagnosed autism. These signs can develop as early as age 1 to 4 years old.
