“I'm the birth mother of a 39-year-old daughter with fetal alcohol syndrome. She was my fourth child, and I knew the moment she was born that there was something wrong. We started immediately with pediatric neurologists, doctors, specialists of every type and description. It went on for years and years and years. FAS was never mentioned. They suggested autism, aphasia, retardation, on and on. She doesn't have any of these things. She definitely has FAS.”
