My story

I developed as any other cjild up to 18 months. After thst I started to loose abilities: i couldn't talk an I couldn't use my hands. It took.a bery long time to learn it eas rett's because I have atypical rett syndrome. It was until.I was about four and after learning what I had that thing syarted to get better. I got an anticonvulsive medicine that did not worsen other things and was on my way. I go to school and am learning. I love to read. However, music and dance bring me the biggest joy. I also enjoy hearing people tell their live syories. I am sometimes able to communicate. I can slap card with words or with letters. Sometimes, I use my eyes to point. However, my mom still doesn't know the reasons I have when I don't answer. She thinks it could be that I can't at the moment, that it is not interesting to me or that I am just giving her attittude. I.don't like to be treated as a baby. I like it when people consider me like amy other girl.
