RTT - "Rett Syndrome, the most physically disabling of the Autism Spectrum Disorders, is caused by random mutations in the gene MECP2.  Predominately affecting girls, symptoms usually manifest between 6 and 18 months of age, when a frightening regression begins. Children lose acquired language skills and functional hand use; movement deteriorates as other Rett symptoms appear.   These may include disordered breathing, Parkinsonian tremors, sever anxiety, seizures, digestive and circulatory problems and a range of autonomic nervous system and orthopedic abnormalities.  Although most children survive to adulthood, many are wheelchair-bound, rely on feeding tubes, are unable to communicate and require total, lifelong care."
"Autism is known as a complex developmental disability. Experts believe that Autism presents itself during the first three years of a person's life."
"Asperger's Syndrome is a form of autism - it is a developmental disorder that impacts on the individuals ability to communicate and socialize, among other things.  It begins in childhood and persists through adulthood."
