[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FASD label helps if it is the appropriate label, just like any other label.  However, most of those kids are probably labeled ASD as a huge marker is the physical markers and not all kids have that.

I wonder what the impact of paternal drug and alcohol use is.  There are studies and a huge push with maternal drug use but what about long term paternal use?[/quote]

Did you read what the special ed teacher wrote?  The core symptom of ASD is rigidity and difficulty reading social cues.  If a kid with FASD only gets labeled as autistic, it's a crappy diagnosis.  [/quote]

I'm the special ed teacher.  It's weird that you quote me as an expert, when in the same post, I talked about how I think this diagnosis can hurt kids.

I don't think that most kids with FASD would be well served under an ASD label, because they don't have the core symptoms of ASD.  I do think that most kids with FASD are better served under a label like ADHD, learning disabilities, ID, etc . . . depending on how their symptoms present.  I have had kids in my class who have made lots of progress, sent them off to the next teacher only to have that teacher tell me "Oh, he can't learn anything, he has FASD, I'm going to concentrate on the ones I can help."
