I have a Fosterson, 4yrs old, we are certain he is FAS but like you we bang our head on a wall trying to get anyone to be interested. We are not alone, every teacher, therapist etc who sees him, comments "is he FAS?" They spot it. Would love to hear from you and see how far you've come.

Thanks for calling by, Janine Thanks AnnMarie,

Her posts vary from being about her kids and their actions (as well as her other kids) and broader issues of FAS.
