The diagnosis of FASD follows a specific outline. Individuals with FASD are generally found to have:

1) Growth problems (e.g. unusually low birth weight and size, before and after birth)
2) Facial dysmorphia (e.g. small head, small eyes, underdevelopment of the upper lip, indistinct groove between lip and nose, flattened cheekbones)
3) CNS abnormality (e.g. delayed brain development, intellectual impairment)
