Comments: This site is wonderful and has a vast amount of info. for those of us who know so little. My granddaughter at this young age is defiant, hyper and not afraid of anything. Are these symptoms of ARND? The child's mother consumed a lot of alcohol while pregnant. Can a child this young be tested? Thanks,,,,Carol

His first year in high school has been a nightmare, not only with his grades but now with the Law. I am just starting to research fetal alcohol effect.

Court system here very closed minded and not accepting even though we finally got documentation (Mike is from Idaho) won't accept diagnosis but used very same effects of disability to railroad into 3 yr sentence for minor infraction!

Comments: Hi Teresa. I still need to stop at your site every once in awhile. I think it must be like the recovering alcoholic, who on occasion can be heard to say " I need a meeting". There's always something new and I know you work hard at keeping it up to date. I hope that all is well with you and John and Karie. I'm still in Amarillo and doing ok. Bronnie Paul is 33 now, still in Phoenix, and other than becoming overwhelmed occassionally, is doing very well. He has slipped a couple of times in the past 4 yrs. but compared to all the giant steps he has taken forward, a couple of steps back seem's almost insignificant! Had I been there or at least paying attention, those steps back, could have probably been avoided.
I'm very sorry that we didn't get to meet face to face while I was in Phoenix. My fault, I know! I do know that you helped me understand what the 'real deal' is with FAS/E more than any other one person and I won't forget that you did! I felt, and still feel, like I had found a good friend!
Theresa, (I do know your e-mail address, but I'm already here) something that I haven't really seen addressed is the post diagnosis (of a FAS/E adult) mental and emotional health of the parents/parent. You know when Dr. Carl told me "Win or lose the big one, the diagnosis and final court battle for Bronnie Paul, get you! some counseling lined up, now!. You'll need it." Who me? I wish that I hadn't been smarter than my MD and friend! It's been a really long healing process. I'm wondering it this is a viable issue or is it just me?
