[QUOTE="ksm, post: 751613, member: 12511"] Crayola13 and BusynMember- Yes, I'm sure it is the FASD/static encephalopathy. She has also been diagnosis as bipolar. I question whether it is all alcohol related? It doesn't seem like the psychologist puts too much interest in the FASD. She doesn't look 'typical" Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). I am worried that medication for bipolar may make thinks worse. It seems like when things are going well, she is almost giddy. When it's not she's very depressed. Sounds like bipolar, but I think it's more her social (not chronological) age and how she reacts to everything. We did go to a FASD clinic, and they said she was. Only one facial feature. But she has always been very small. Had a smallish head circumference, at birth. When they examined here, I was in another room, so I don't know specifics. She lives in the moment. Can't plan ahead. Can't take responsibility for her actions. I've been her external brain for years. And she resents me. I understand, but it's still so frustrating to watch everything fall apart. Ksm [/QUOTE]
