[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 486850, member: 2322"] One thing to remember about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is that is is a spectrum, some kids are much more severely affected and the constellation of symptoms differs from kid to kid. Also I believe that sometimes the mental health issues that may lead some birthmothers to drink (self medicate) may be heritable to some extent so it possible to have a kid with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and say major depression or bipolar or whatever. My youngest had a profund speech delay--now no issue, is normal cognitively but has some processing issues, but is very impulsive. What is sad about these kids is that they get such negative feedback from everyone because their social behavior leaves a lot to be desired. So you begin to see secondary effects (anger, defensiveness) that come from having the world constantly on your case the whole time. [/QUOTE]
