Suggest Remedy For Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
I recently gained custody of my fiancée 20 month old grand son.i am concerned that he may have FAS. He has facial traits, and he is extremely stubborn, wants to hit people & throw objects. He also appears to have moments when he just stares, like he has checked out. He is of normal height & weight. His mother has admitted to me that she drank, but that he is normal. Should I be concerned?
