[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Excuse my ignorance, but don't FAS children share similar features with children who have Down? My cousin claimed her son was autistic, but she was an alcoholic big time - drank through her pregnancy. And her son looked as though he had Down Syndrome. so sad on many levels OP - Take the child. You'll manage, I'm sure. And if a guy is scared, he's not really the right one anyway.[/quote] There are some physical features that individuals with DS and FAS have in common, but many more that are different. Kids with DS and FAS would never be confused by someone familiar with both diagnoses. Behaviorally, and developmentally, kids with FAS and DS have very different profiles. Both diagnoses can co-occur with autism. [/quote]
