[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 367763, member: 1550"] My son's birthmother was high as a kite when she gave birth to him. He had crack in his system. She never tried to get custody of him at any of the hearings. Yet it took the court FOUR YEARS to terminate the rights that she didn't want. In between we had a teenybopper social worker who decided that L's rages were because we had no idea how to parent him (this from a kid who had just left college) and she tried to remove him from us. We had so much fun! ;) Autism CAN be caused by prenatal drug/alcohol use. It does not have one cause. Kids exposed to drugs/alcohol have a much higher rate of autistic spectrum disorder. Many, sadly, also have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) of Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) (which is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) light, but still it's brain damage). My son fortunately dodged the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) bullet (he understands cause and effect and has no swiss cheese thinking and never rages). It's a matter of hit or miss. I'm happy that he has Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and not also Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). And he has been to some of the best experts in the country for help and evaluation. We were lucky to live in Chicago. The most prominant doctor, Dr. Ira Chasnoff (I think his name was) does a lot of research on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) and he is based in Chicago. [/QUOTE]
