Rett Syndrome Written by Stephen M. Edelson, Ph.D. Center for the Study of Autism, Salem, Oregon Rett Syndrome was first recognized by Andreas Rett in 1966 and is a neurological disorder affecting primarily females. Autopsies on the brains of these individuals indicate a pathology different than autism; however, children afflicted with Rett Syndrome often exhibit autistic-like behaviors, such as repetitive hand movements, prolonged toe walking, body rocking, and sleep problems. The prevalence of Rett Syndrome is similar to the prevalence of autism; that is, estimates are between 1 in 10,000 births and 1 in 15,000 births. Typical characteristics: Normal development until 1/2 to 1 1/2 years Shakiness of the torso, and possibly the limbs Unsteady, stiff-legged gait Breathing difficulties (hyperventilation, apnea, air swallowing) Seizures (approximately 80% have epilepsy) Teeth grinding and difficulty chewing Retarded growth and small head Functioning level is usually between severely and profoundly mentally retarded Hypoactivity In most cases, there is a regression in cognition, behavior, social, and motor skills throughout their lifetime.

Child: care, health and development, 1 Living with impairment: the effects on children of having an autistic sibling PATRICIA HOWLIN Department of Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, Denmark Hill, London SE5 8A7 Accepted for publication 6 July 1988 Summary Although children of impaired siblings are generally believed to be at risk of suffering from a variety of problems themselves, research studies indicate that living with impairment is not necessarily a harmful experience. This report reviews studies in this area, with particular emphasis on those involving autistic sibships. Although often lacking adequate experimental controls, the current literature suggests various factors that are likely to influence the risks on siblings. Possible ways of minimizing such risk factors are discussed. 'You're a naughty girl!' said Tom severely 'and I'm sorry I bought you the fish line. I don't love you ....Last holidays you licked the paint off my lozenge box, and the holidays before that you let the boat drag my fish-line down when I'd set you to watch it, and you pushed your head through my kite, all for nothing. And you're a naughty girl and you shan't go fishing with me tomorrow.' With this terrible conclusion, Tom ran away from Maggie towards the mill

117. The Child With Autism - AACAP Facts For Families # 11 Briefly describes the signs and symptoms of autism in children. http://www.aacap.org/publications/factsfam/autistic.htm

T HE C HILD WITH A UTISM No. 11 (Updated 4/99) M ost infants and young children are very social creatures who need and want contact with others to thrive and grow. They smile, cuddle, laugh, and respond eagerly to games like "peek-a-boo" or hide-and-seek. Occasionally, however, a child does not interact in this expected manner. Instead, the child seems to exist in his or her own world, a place characterized by repetitive routines, odd and peculiar behaviors, problems in communication, and a total lack of social awareness or interest in others. These are characteristics of a developmental disorder called autism. Autism is usually identified by the time a child is 30 months old and always by three years of age. It is often discovered when parents become concerned that their child may be deaf, is not yet talking, resists cuddling, and avoids interaction with others. A preschool age child with "classic" autism is generally withdrawn, aloof, and fails to respond to other people. Many of these children will not even make eye contact. They may also engage in odd or ritualistic behaviors like rocking, hand waving, or an obsessive need to maintain order. Many children with autism do not speak at all. Those who do may speak in rhyme, have echolalia (repeating a person’s words like an echo), refer to themselves as a "he" or "she," or use peculiar language.
