[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 713813, member: 1550"] Hi! Sorry it has been so hard. I adopted a son who had been exposed to drugs and alcohol prenatally. My son is very lucky. He has high functioning autism but is on his own at almost 24 and has no behavior problems. We met him at two. Although attachment problems are a real possibility with your grandson, you cant rule out behavioral problems/brain differences also due to in utero drug and alcohol exposure. Has he ever been totally evaluated by a neuro psychologist (this is a highly trained psychologist with extra training in the brain). They are wonderful diagnosticians. Knowing my sons medical history in utero, he was tested as soon as we adopted him at a major center in Chicago. It is to be expected that the prenatal drug exposure will mess with his brain...never heard of a drug/alcohol exposed baby totally unscathed. It is a wonderful thing you are doing. Keep searching for answers and professional help. We had to do that but it really paid off! Keep up the great work. [/QUOTE]
