[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 164146, member: 3626"] I don't care how many papers this man has had published -- there are NO physical effects to see in Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), yes, Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), no. DUH!!!! Sometimes I really would like to smack these so-called professionals to get them to wake up. He's spoiled? Well, good. He should be spoiled. All kids should be spoiled -- it's part of loving them. If I were dxing, my vote would go towards Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). It certainly fits his behavior patterns. Almost ADHD, but not. Almost autistic, but not. Almost bipolar, but not. ..... Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) is frequently "almost but not" for many things. The genetic tests are good at showing Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), not so good at Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). It can basically rule it out but it rarely can say that it exists. If it is Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), drugs are not going to help. They can help some of the behavior but it will do nothing for the Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) itself. It takes extreme behavior modification. Good luck in your battles. I hope you get some concrete answers. It will help a lot in your treatment plan and fighting the schools for help. However, if you don't, go with your gut. It will be right more often than the pros. You are with him daily, you observe his behavior daily, so do what you feel is right for him and you. There will be times this will be diametrically opposed to what his SW, therapist, school counselor, psychiatrist tell you. Try their way. When it doesn't work, try yours. In the meantime, welcome aboard. Glad you found us. Hope we can help. [/QUOTE]
