[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 207314, member: 1550"] We adopted our son from foster care at two. In general, these kids have lots of issues that other kids don't due to their in utero history and being moved around a lot. My son is also on the autism spectrum, and has improved a lot with intervention. HOwever, although he was exposed to drugs in utero, he doesn't have any symptoms of Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE)...guess we luckily dodged that bullet. Did you know there is a huge center in the Chicago area for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE)/drug exposed children? I am not allowed to give you the name here, but, if you want the name of it, PM me. I took my son to that too. I think our kids need lots of evaluations because they are complex and forever changing. Are you sure she has Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE)? Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) kids tend not to be able to tell right from wrong or learn from their mistakes. They also tend to "forget" from one day to the next. They may know the alphabet one day, yet not k now it the next day. It is organic brain damage. At first we thought our son MUST have Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), however, he is 15 now and getting all A's and B's in school and does not have that "swiss-cheese" memory. Doctors tend to jump to certain diagnosis. with adopted kids...two are Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). Sometimes they apply, sometimes the doctors are proven wrong. Welcome to the board :) [/QUOTE]
