[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 306994, member: 1550"] Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a neurological disorder (it is actually organic brain damage). Does he have the entire spectrum or just effects? Either way they cause lots of trouble and the brain damage can't be healed. Have you thought of taking him to a center that understands Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)? Frankly, most psychiatrists don't. There is a clinic in Chicago just for kids who were exposed to substances in utero and it's nothing like a psychiatrist appointment. I took my son when we first adopted him to see if they felt he had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). There may be something like that near you. I'd certainly try it. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) is bad. All the kids have trouble remembering day-to-day and tend not to "get" right from wrong. It is a lifelong problem that is different from a mood disorder or ADHD, but can look like both. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) kids and adults both need high level supervision and that doesn't change. medications can take the edge off sometimes, but not cure the problem. I suggest reading "Fantastic Antone Succeeds" about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). I don't know the author anymore, you can find it in your search engine. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
