🧩 “Did You Know? A Silent Thief Called Rett Syndrome” 🧩 Imagine watching a child develop normally—smiling, babbling, and grabbing their favorite toy—only to suddenly lose those abilities. This is the heartbreaking reality of Rett Syndrome, a rare neurological condition that quietly steals motor and communication skills, primarily in young girls. 🔍 What Makes Rett Syndrome Unique? It’s caused by a mutation in the MECP2 gene. Girls with Rett Syndrome may stop talking, walking, or using their hands purposefully after months of normal growth. It mimics autism, cerebral palsy, and epilepsy—making diagnosis tricky without genetic testing. 💡 Here’s What You Should Know: The repetitive hand-wringing motion is a hallmark sign. Breathing issues and seizures are common struggles. There’s no cure—yet. But science is closing in on breakthroughs! Why Should You Care? Understanding rare conditions like Rett Syndrome can help healthcare professionals, families, and advocates like YOU improve outcomes through early diagnosis, care, and support. ✨ Let’s take a moment today to learn, share, and advocate for these unsung battles. 🔗 Have thoughts or experiences to share? Drop them in the comments! Let’s start the conversation. #NAFTraPh #HealthAwareness #RettSyndrome #RareDiseases #KnowledgeIsPower
