[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 620986, member: 1550"] I'm an adoptive mom too. The first things I thought of, reading your post, were fetal alcohol effects, which do have rather serious consequences, and possible autistic spectrum too. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) are now called fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and I will get a link for you to read. Your son may need adult assistance all of his life. My son, who was drug exposed at birth, dodged the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) bullet, but he is on the autism spectrum and does get some adult services. He is very pleased to be 80% independent and working! Maybe your son should see a Neruopsych for an evaluation. Even if your son has no physical characteristics of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), he could still have other symptoms like behaviors and neurological problems. [/QUOTE]
