[QUOTE="ksm, post: 594198, member: 12511"] I am afraid it is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). I have been reading and researching and it fits on so many levels. I saw the neuropsychologist a couple weeks ago. We had started this process 1.5 years ago, but ins denied further appts or testing. THis year we were able to get different ins so starting this again. We will have 8 hours of testing the first week of June (2 four hour time slots) and then the results the first week in July. The doctor is out the last half of June. I know that biomom drank LOTS. My DS says she was drinking 4 or 5 mixed drinks a night when he met her. She was working in a bar so I assume most nights were like that. They continued to drink a couple more months before "she knew she was pregnant" Yea, right. I know that DS didn't know at first... but she didn't admit it until she couldn't hide the pregnancy. Biomom has also been diagnosis as bipolar. It is possible that biomom might also be Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). I don't know her parents, but we do keep in touch by phone. And I know that although biomom's mom works as a CT xray technician, she also drinks every day after getting off work. Also, she was single when she had our girls biomom... I just don't get why a 15 year old would even think I would say yes to letting her skip school. She gets so angry when she doesn't get her way. Rages are fairly common. About once a week. I guess I should be happy it isn't daily. Like the other night, we had thunder storms with lots of lighning. Not the kind across the sky, but the straight down ones. She wanted to go ourside and "enjoy" the storm. Of course, she went to set on a metal patio chair. husband told her she shouldn't sit there. So she laid down on the ground.
