[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing is, pp, your list of issues other than low growth sounds just like those common to preemies and kids on the spectrum. They are signs of mild neurological disorder/damage. And there are thousands of causes, from lack of oxygen at birth to genetic issues to autism. It's damn murky. And for most children of alovoholics, many other things are comorbid. So, again, it seems like the diagnosis isn't as important as the symptoms. I'm surprised though that given the low growth nobody has suggested fasd.[/quote]

I agree with you.  Thing is that it seems like it would be worth more exploration since alcohol use is preventable, yet it seems to be ignored or overlooked.  But, like I said, there is good reason - why make someone feel bad when they can't change it.  Energy needs to be focused on making the child successful.  That being said, no one should take comfort from lack of studies.

And, you are so right when you say the low growth should clue people in about my sons condition.  You would not believe how tiny he is compared to most kids his age.  Some people get it, but most really do not.  FASD really is the unspoken/unrecognized disability.  [/quote]
