Which area is affected by Retts Syndrome?

Physical strength
Intellectual functioning and communication
Musical abilities
Mathematical skills

The correct answer is: Intellectual functioning and communication

Retts Syndrome primarily affects intellectual functioning and communication. This neurodevelopmental disorder predominantly affects girls and leads to a regression in cognitive and social skills after a period of normal development. Individuals with Rett Syndrome often experience difficulties in communication, which can manifest as challenges in understanding and expressing language. Additionally, their intellectual functioning may be impaired, impacting their ability to engage in typical cognitive processes. While Rett Syndrome can also influence other areas of functioning, such as physical strength, the most significant impact is on cognitive and communicative abilities. Therefore, identifying the correct area affected by this syndrome as intellectual functioning and communication aligns with the characteristics observed in individuals with Rett Syndrome.
