[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 414309, member: 1550"] Actually, pepperage (sorry if I spelled your name wrong), there ARE different levels of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) (agree) and I think more has come out since we had to deal with this in our son (he is, after all, almost eighteen now). Sixteen years is a long time ago. I by no means meant to give up...sorry if I came across that way. I just think that it is a good idea to see where he is at NOW and go from there. My son probably does have some effects and almost certainly is on the autism spectrum because of the drugs and alcohol. He is not mentally retarded nor does he not understand right from wrong. In fact, he is very well behaved. Our biggest problem (his, really) is with executive functions. We don't know if that is the alcohol or the autism or both, but his executive function skills are his biggest problem and, of course, they impact everything. Good luck and lots of hugzzzzzzzzzz ::) [/QUOTE]
