@marge
most websites dont account for the kids who were diagnose with add or adhd first. FAS is alot like being add but unless you have it yourself you dont know whats really going on inside a FAS victims brain. The symptoms are NOT always visible and not only do the symptoms not go away but they get worse as you get older.

if there is no evidence at age 5, could it still show up later in life?

I have a student at my school that suffers from this and yes it last for a lifetime. So sad to be born of a disease from your parents that they choose not to stop or control. This student has a lot a problems because of the choices his mother made and he has to live with it for the rest of his life.

where did you get your statistics?? every other reputable site says less than 1 in 1000 births in the US…with Caucasians being born with FAS at about 1 in 10,000…long stretch to get to 1 in 100 even when factoring Blacks and Native Americans, with the NAs having by far the highest rate. Can you provide a footnote on where you got 1 out 100?

does fetal alcohol syndrome stay with you through your whole life or are you only born with it?
