Can the severity be predicted?
Just as in any other disorder, there can be a wide range of disability ranging from mild to severe. It is difficult to predict the intensity of symptoms in any individual child. Many girls begin walking within the normal range, while others show significant delay or inability to walk independently. Some begin walking and lose this skill, while others continue to walk throughout life. Still others do not walk until late childhood or adolescence. The same patterns hold true for using her hands and other skills she may acquire.
