[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 494518, member: 6705"] Ditto what everyone else has said! In many cases, ADHD is the first diagnosis and it can really mislead [I]everyone[/I]. Also, ODD [I]seems[/I] to be kind of a catchall diagnosis. (Rather like saying your car won't start... After ruling out the battery, the starter, the alternator, the fuel, then they find it's a fuse or relay. Small but SUPER important!) You asked what Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) was - it's Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. (Some stuff is underlined, if you hover over it, you'll get a pop-up.) Now I'll be honest, Jett is way too high functioning and doesn't have many of the other characteristics in my opinion, so I'm betting on "Effects" as opposed to "Syndrome". I'm not a doctor, but I [I]am[/I] his mom, I [I]do[/I] live with him. (His bio mom may or may not have had some MH issues as well - and self-medication is common, just ask my daughter!) [/QUOTE]
