10 Prader Willi Syndrome Symptoms

Symptom #8: Cognitive Impairment
Some people are simply smarter than others are. This is something that is largely down to genetics, among other factors. Regardless, most people are still reasonably intelligent at least and are smart enough to live perfectly normal lives. That may not always be the case in patients that have Prader-Willi syndrome, though.
Many patients with the condition will suffer from cognitive impairment. They will struggle with problem-solving and also have difficulties with reasoning. The level of disability can range from being mild to moderate, and even those with mild disabilities can have some difficulties when it comes to learning.
