Conditions

One of the hallmark features of an autism spectrum disorder is the presence of restrictive and repetitive behaviors (RRBs), interests, and activities.

Rett Syndrome (RS) is a neurological disorder often misdiagnosed as autism, cerebral palsy or non-specified developmental delay. This disorder is caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene that disrupts its function. Although it has been primarily reported in females more males are being identified.
