Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) are a group of preventable conditions that can occur in a person who was exposed to alcohol before birth. If you think there could be a problem, ask your healthcare provider for a referral to a specialist (someone who knows about FASDs). Specialists could be a developmental pediatrician, child psychologist, or clinical geneticist. In some cities, there are clinics whose staff members have special training in diagnosing and treating children with FASDs. It\u2019s also recommended that you not drink alcohol if you\u2019re sexually active and not using effective birth control.<\/p>\n
