[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FAS isn’t diagnosed because people don’t identify that they drank. It Often presents like ADHD/ASD. One of the maby reasons  we are seeing an increase in ADHD/ASD diagnosis.

And maybe the increase is due to virus exposure, pesticides, chemicals, air pollution, genetic abnormalities, etc.? Hypothesizing a link between alcohol and ASD/ADHD where none has been proven unfairly places blame on Moms.  Now,[b] everyone will assume[/b] that the mothers of children with issues drank while pregnant. This is infuriating! Women need to stand together and call out stupidity when it shows up on DCUM.[/quote]
DP. Why are you so infuriated over what 'everyone' will assume? Honest question. Let 'everyone' assume whatever they want, why does it upset you so much?

My nephew has Asperger's, and his mother doesn't drink at all (I've known her for 20 year and don't remember ever seeing her drink, even at parties). His father, though,  has some form of ASD that he passed on to his child.

Genetics is a real thing, you know. [/quote]

Why do I care about what others think? Because I want to face teachers, school administrators, friends, neighbors, and family members without worrying that they think I drank while pregnant. I care about all SN parents who have to deal with judgmental stares. Yes, I believe fetal alcohol syndrome is real, but don’t dare make an irrational, unscientific statement linking alcohol consumption to an increase in ADHD/ASD. I also care because this is an example of another attack on women. [/quote]
