RETT: There is Hope (Full Movie)

My 3 years young daughter was diagnosed with Rett syndrome yesterday. For the last 2 years the doctors told us she had autism. I hope and pray that one day there will be a cure for her and for all the Rett children to have normal and healthy life. I am hopeful and will never give up on her.

As a mother of a Rett girl I am very disheartened to see that there are 36 thumbs down....But that aside thank you so much for this movie, it brought me Hope, and I too have gotten on board and helped raised funds for Rett Research...our Rett girls deserve our support !

Im the father who had daughter with rett syndrome....she 10 years old now....thanks for sharing this video....

"Hurrah" for the parents in this doc about Rett Syndrome! Sadly some parents are overly protective to a fault and look for "threats" from caregivers. In Florida a school nurse who worked with special needs kids was forced to resign because a student with Rett's dad, a local newspaper editor, had erroneously misread a comment from the nurse and believed she had threatened the girl! It was such a loss to the school: this nurse was a real advocate for persons with disabilities. Remember, if you are a parent of a child with any syndrome please be kind to those who dedicate the lives to making this world a better place for all children. Blessed be all!

I studied Rett syndrome in school, but this video has helped understand so much more. My heart and prayers go out to the families of Rett children. I believe a treatment can be found.

Hats off to Monica whose made it her mission to research this horrible syndrome. And Dr. Adrian Bird for his miraculous discovery. With enough money for funding it seems like an attainable goal, reversing the gene. My hearts go out to these families and those beautiful girls. I wish nothing but health and peace for them. ❤️

My 7 year old daughter was just diagnosed with RETT...we are blessed in that she can walk, talk at about a 3 year old's level, eat normally, she doesn't have seizures, she knows about 200 sight words and is actually starting to read on her own, by blending sounds that she's learned. She is however severely delayed, she does wring her hands, she can't fully dress herself, brush her teeth, and has issues with bruxism. But this diagnosis hit us like a ton of bricks...every specialist we saw said it was autism but we knew it wasn't. We finally did a full genetic test and found this out. I'm so glad to see that there are people working to reverse this awful condition. We have a clinical trial that's currently taking place near us that we want to get her involved in. God bless everyone who is working so hard on this.

My daughter with Rett Syndrome died two years ago at the age of 34. I hope for the cure for the other families.

This is the first time I've heard of this awful condition. My heart goes out to the families. Pray they find a cure soon.

What a heart break for the parents to witness the deterioration of their lovely little girls.Your best is behind you,so very sad.

My sister was diagnosed with Retts and it has altered our lives in our family but she will always be within our care. I hope one day we can find a cure for this disease.

What fabulous parents, plus the wonderful siblings, and those dedicated peoples who assist in there exercises, and bring the world to her. The love that surrounds them from the loved ones is so glorious.

Thank you for sharing. My niece with Rett is 40. She has never had language. We were told she probably wouldn't survive through adolescence! She can still walk, however, not for long periods. My sister and brother in law are angels. They're life is caring for her, Rx, seizures, daily care, bathing, dressing, feeding, taking care of her every need. They make sure she is 'pretty', using ribbons in her hair and cute clothing! She is so well cared for and loved. It is my opinion, that's why she's living with Retts at 40! <3

You families are so strong, brave and I hope that there can be a cure for your little ones ❤️ my youngest daughter has a rare genetic disorder and it’s so hard as a parent because you don’t want your child in pain, struggle through activities etc. There’s so much that is taken for granted in life until you’re living with someone who you are grateful for if they can do even one of the simplest of things in life.

Wonderful information on an orphan genetic disease. What brave parents! The too loud pulsating music is a distraction to hearing the important dialogue.

Thank you for sharing this and helping others understand. For me the eyes speak volumes, looking into their eyes shows their love and every other emotion they are portraying and want others to see. These parents are amazing and so strong. I didn’t understand what Rhett was and never understood the severity of it until Hanna’s mom said...”I want the autism diagnosis back.” That seriously broke my heart. I wish every parent the every best in your journey and keep the faith, they will find the cure.

I am in grad school for Speech-language pathology and I was assigned Rett's syndrome. I'm so glad you shared this and that the parents shared their story. This has given me a perspective into the lives of children with Rett syndrome and their family's journey. This video has inspired me to learn more about therapy practices and speak to my friends and family about this syndrome. Thank you!

All of these girls have amazing eyes . You can see them in their eyes . Their courage . Their obstinance . Their joy . Their fight . Their love for their family . Their intelligence. I hope I see them again when they figure out how to flip that switch on .

I salute the incredibly courageous and loving parents and siblings of the Rhett girls in this film. If annoying music is a big thing in your life you are a fortunate person.

Your story of Hannah's early life and eventual diagnosis mirrors ours so very much. Very moving. She is a lovely child.
