Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) are a group of conditions that can occur in a person whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. FASDs can cause physical, behavioral, and intellectual disabilities that can have lifelong impacts on individuals affected. These conditions can vary in severity and may include fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), partial fetal alcohol syndrome (pFAS), alcohol-related birth defects (ARBD), and alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND). It is important to raise awareness about the risks of drinking alcohol during pregnancy and to provide support and interventions for individuals affected by FASDs.
