Rett’s Syndrome was disqualified as a part of the autism spectrum in recent years. However, it primarily affects girls and begins to become evident around 6 months old. Symptoms associated with Rett’s Syndrome include social communication and an impaired ability to use one’s hands (such as difficulty with gross and fine motor skills or repetitive hand and arms flapping), symptoms that are also indicative of autism spectrum disorders.
