[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 583434, member: 1550"] Buddy, and Sonic should have had the full scale Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). His birthmother not only never entered treatment but had no prenatal care until she came to the hospital in labor and high, then gave birth, named him and left AMA. He had cocaine in his system and syphillis. Certainly, she must have drunk a lot during her entire pregnancy, but he doesn't have enough traits of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) to have it. In fact, he isn't even very impulsive and has pretty good control over his emotions and certainly understands right from wrong. He was just one lucky person. Still, the mark of pre-natal alcohol and other drugs are there, mostly cognitively. He is unable to perform up to the level of his IQ, although is IQ had been tested from 75 to 110. I think he is more 95. His academic level is between fifth and sixth grade and that's where it will stay. He is at fourth grade in math and seventh grade in reading. Abstract thinking skills aren't good. Therefore, he is not going to be able to compete in the workforce and is getting certain supports, although he is far more functional than anyone ever thought he'd be when he was a toddler and so...no other word for it...crazy!!! It helps that he is afraid of both alcohol and drugs and has no interest in it....now anyway. But ya never know; only that drinking and drug use during pregnancy is never a good thing for the poor developing baby. [/QUOTE]
