Todays topic is on gene therapy and its potential to revolutionize the treatment of Rett Syndrome and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Join myself and Monica C. as we explore the similarities and differences between Rett Syndrome and autism, understanding the challenges faced by those living with this rare genetic disorder affecting girls and boys. Learn about the symptoms of Rett Syndrome, including the regression of motor and social skills, and discover the ongoing gene therapy research studies that bring hope to the Rett Syndrome community. We'll also discuss the significance of the MECP2 gene mutation in Rett Syndrome and how gene therapy could pave the way for improved autism detection and treatment in the future.

Monica shares her personal journey with Rett Syndrome and how it has affected her daughter and family. Together, we explore the challenges of living with Rett Syndrome, including the loss of purposeful hand skills, speech difficulties, and motor and social skill regression. We also discuss the vital role of awareness in promoting understanding and support for Rett Syndrome.

🧩 About Mary Barbera 👩‍⚕️
I'm Dr. Mary Barbera and I fell into the autism world more than two decades ago when my first-born son, Lucas, was diagnosed with autism. Since then, I became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Host of the Turn Autism Around podcast (with more than 1 million downloads), and best-selling author of two books (including my newest book Turn Autism Around: An Action Guide for Parents of Young Children with Early Signs of Autism).

In addition to free content, I post daily across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. I also offer two online courses for parents and professionals: The Toddler/Preschooler course to help young children ages 1-5 showing signs of autism (with or without a diagnosis) and the Verbal Behavior Bundle course to help kids over the age of 6!
Behavior Analyst BACB CEUs and Early Intervention contact hours are also included for professionals.

Whether you have a toddler showing signs of autism or you're a parent or professional helping an autistic child, I encourage you to subscribe to the Turn Autism Around YT channel and join me for videos almost every day that will help you increase talking, decrease tantrums, and improve eating, sleeping, and potty training!
