Today I listened to a highly emotional story from Syndi K. who is a mom to a young daughter with Rett Syndrome, one the most physically disabling of the autism spectrum disorders. Primarily affecting little girls, Rett often strikes just after they have learned to walk and say a few words, and begins to drag their development backward.

As Syndi describes the condition, “it’s combination of autism symptoms of autism, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, and anxiety disorders…all in one little girl.”

Now imagine these symptoms vanishing … one by one. This is the work of the Rett Syndrome Research Trust. Check out the site: rsrt.org

This is an emotional Podcast. Thank you Syndi for sharing your touching story.
