 “This city displayed the lowest prevalence of FASD of the four sites. Nevertheless, FASD were common, and affected children demonstrated a common, recognizable and measurable array of traits… Neurobehavioral tests distinguished children with FASD from controls, more for behavioral problems than cognitive delay. Children with ARND demonstrated the poorest neurobehavioral indicators.”
