[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 215634, member: 1550"] Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) can be determined by a genetics test, but Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) can't (Fetal Alcohol Effects). Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) can be as debilitating as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). I don't know about the medication wash, but there are big differences between Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified is a neurological disorder. The kids have good rote memories and don't lose what they learn one day and remember the next. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) kids have "swiss cheese learning." They can know the alphabet one day and forget it the next day. They are very hyperactive, immature, and scattered. Also, they do not understand right and wrong and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) kids don't.
