   FAS is the severe end of a spectrum of effects that can occur when a woman drinks during pregnancy (with fetal death being the most severe case). FAS is a disorder characterized by growth retardation, facial abnormalities, and central nervous system dysfunction. If a pregnant woman drinks alcohol but her child does not have the full symptoms of  FAS, it is possible that her child may be born with ARND. Children with ARND do not have full FAS, but may demonstrate learning and behavioral problems caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol. If you think a child may have FAS or other alcohol-related effects, contact a doctor. Children with FAS or ARND may have the following characteristics or exhibit the following behaviors: small for gestational age or small in stature in relation to peers; facial abnormalities such as small eye openings; poor coordination; hyperactive behavior; learning disabilities; developmental disabilities (e.g., speech and language delays); mental retardation or low IQ; problems with daily living; poor reasoning and judgement skills; and sleep and sucking disturbances in infancy. In addition, people with FAS often experience problems as they get older such as mental health problems, disrupted school experiences, trouble with the law, unemployment, and inappropriate sexual behavior.
