Fetal Alcohol Effects

Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), a recently discovered pattern of physical, cognitive, developmental and behavioural abnormalities, occurs in some offspring of women who consume alcohol heavily during pregnancy. This paper explores the implications of FAS and lesser fetal alcohol effects. Issues of international incidence, characteristics, identification and treatment, along with their relevance for the school psychologist, are discussed.

Abstinence From Alcohol

To the Editor.— The recent Academy statement on fetal alcohol syndrome and fetal alcohol effects recommends abstinence from alcohol for women who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy.1 Our position was incompletely quoted in the statement. We have stated that there is no scientific evidence to support abstinence from alcohol during pregnancy in well-nourished women.2 Mills, who is also referred to in the committee statement as finding a substantial risk with the consumption of one to two drinks daily, was also referenced incompletely.

Fetal Alcohol Effects

To the Editor.— The recent article by Golden et al1 on fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and infant development purpots to be a controlled study which suggests that infants with fetal alcohol effects can be classified at birth and that their developmental outcome can be accurately predicted. Although there are several problems in the interpretation of their data and conclusions, I would like to address a major methodologic flaw in this report which persists throughout the literature on FAS.

Fetal Alcohol Effects

The comments by Wilkie are of great potential interest to those of us who see and follow troubled families. Our study pointed out that 6/45 (13%) of the adoptive children referred to our dysmorphology clinic had fetal alcohol syndrome. An additional 2/45 (4%) had a sex chromosome anomaly.1 The phenotypic manifestations of fetal alcohol effects and sex chromosome abnormalities may be difficult to recognize during childhood. Both these conditions may be associated with hyperkinetic behavior disorders and learning disabilities.
