[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 398171, member: 1550"] If he was exposed to substances before his birth, I would think that is part of it. And, no, psychiatrists don't catch it and other parents don't even consider it because it's not a part of their world. Any drug can affect the brain and cause impulsivity and anger that is beyond ADHD. The kids don't have to look different to have drug or alcohol affect problems. Some kids get Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and some just have behavioral problems or Learning Disability (LD) issues. I suspect this is the case with my son...why he ended up on the autism spectrum. He doesn't have Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), but he was certainly damaged by the drugs his birthmother used while she was pregnant. These kids have a much higher than average degree of learning/behavioral problems and various disorders. We learned a lot when I took my son to a doctor's clinic for drug-exposed kids in Chicago.
