[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 751619, member: 23706"] You can have no physical features and still be Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). I would not trust features for a diagnosis. These people suffer mostly invisibly and just cant thrive, learn common sense, stay out of trouble and, worse, tend to substance abuse themselves. The Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) kids who look completely normal suffer the most because doctors don't believe they have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and misdiagnose them, call them bad, lazy, ADHD, bipolar, antisocial etc when it all happened because the pregnant mother poisoned their developing brain with alcohol and often drugs too. These normal looking adults puzzle everyone and people expect them to be able to step up. But with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) you really can't. In the latest I research I read, they recommend lifetime supervision for those with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). Those who actually got diagnosed expressed relief and said things like "Everyone always blamed me but I knew I couldn't help it. I'm so relieved to know that I am doing my best." Always wondering about Kay, who looks normal. But....I am pretty sure her birthmother drank while pregnant. So sad. [/QUOTE]
