[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 594252, member: 1550"] Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a tragedy as is Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) or any alcohol effects. It is organic brain damage and usually the adult kids need to be watched all their lives or they continue to do the same wrong things over and over again. Their brains don't retain what they did and sometimes in jail they aren't sure why they are there and reoffend as soon as they get out. Often the best treatment is just 24/7 caregivers because they can't make good decisions due to brain damage. They very often become substance abusers themselves although being told repeatedly that their genetics make it a really bad idea to drink or do drugs. And then again they often have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) children. I also have been told that Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) is pretty much Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) without the facial abnormalities. We didn't know if Sonic had it or not. Certainly the alcohol and drugs affected him...he was lucky to get by with just autism! He can learn right from wrong and can connect consequences from one day to the next therefore he knows how to behave. He simply lucked out. His birthmother was not abstaining because of her pregnancy. He had cocaine in his system at birth. Knowing Sonic's history, we repeatedly tested him as he got older to see wh at services he may need. [/QUOTE]
