[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 220665, member: 1550"] Ok, yaaaaaaaaaaay, I found it. Here is a book I was told to read regarding Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Effects. [url]http://www.amazon.com/Fantastic-Antone-Succeeds-Experiences-Educating/dp/091200665X[/url] I have an autistic son and he CAN remember things from one day to the next. He always had a fantastic memory, even though he was also exposed to drugs and alcohol in utero (we adopted him at two). He has some facial anomalies so the doctors thought for sure he was on the fetal alcohol spectrum, but now, at 15, clearly he isn't.
