[QUOTE="Stress Bunny, post: 622924, member: 4855"] MWM, I don't know if JT's bio mom drank during pregnancy. JT is extremely smart, which is surprising given the IQ of both his bio mom and half brother. He is not autistic like our younger boy. But . . . I realize FASD is a possibility. Who knows? We'll never know for sure. His bio mom claims she did not drink during pregnancy but smoked cigarettes. Also, bio mom refuses to share with anyone who JT's bio father is, so we don't know that either. It's all very upsetting that things are unfolding this way. husband and I have come to appreciate the significant role genetics seem to play in all of this, despite JT's adoption as an infant. Our youngest is high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), and we adopted him at birth privately. His bio mom chose us to adopt him and stated that she did not drink alcohol or take drugs, but that she did smoke cigarettes before realizing she was pregnant. She was still nursing her newborn, when she became pregnant only two - three months later with Bubby. He struggles with sensory issues and inflexibility, but he is a very loving boy. His tantrums have decreased a lot since his younger years, but he does behave inappropriately in social situations sometimes. I pray that he will be alright. I will be devastated if he gets into so much trouble like JT. So far, his teachers love him and he behaves very well at school and home also. [/QUOTE]
