Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
(FAS), Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), Alcohol Related Neurodevelopmental
Disorders (ARND), Static Encephalopathy (alcohol exposed)
(SE) or Alcohol Related Birth Defects (ARBD) are all names
for a spectrum of disorders caused when a pregnant woman
consumes alcohol.
More than 10% of children have been exposed to high levels
of alcohol in utero. All will suffer varying degrees of
effects, ranging from mild learning disabilities to major
physical, mental and intellectual impairment. It takes
very little alcohol to cause serious damage. |

| Body, Mind and Spirit. What is your
EQ? |
You've
got the intellectual credentials: You did pretty well in
school, maybe have a college diploma or even an advanced
degree. You got high scores on your SATs and GREs, or even
on that holy grail of the intellect, the IQ test. You may
even be in Mensa, the select high-IQ club. That's fine when
it comes to intelligence of the academic variety. But how
bright are you outside the classroom, when it comes to life's
stickier moments? There you need other kinds of resourcefulness
-- most especially emotional intelligence, a different way
of being smart. |
