2. The child lacks social interaction skills.
3. Children with Rhett's disorder usually have non-significant prenatal and perinatal development, followed by normal growth and development until the age of 5 months. The child then experiences a decrease in head circumference and the loss of motor skills, social engagement, and language skills.
4. A child would cry and have a normal growth curve with a sensory processing disorder.
