What is FASD?

FASD, or fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, is an umbrella term used to describe 4 medical diagnoses that individuals who were exposed prenatally to alcohol may have. FASD is not a diagnosis in itself. It refers to the spectrum, or variety of ways a person who has been prenatally exposed to alcohol may be affected by that exposure. Specific diagnoses under that umbrella include fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), partial fetal alcohol syndrome (pFAS), alcohol related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND) and alcohol related birth defects (ARBD).
