    I hope after 10 years there is a software that can measure and diagnose from a picture with a calibrated element in view

    Interestingly enough there are so many men that drink alcohol or smoke weed in eastern europe (and also in whole europe 50 ys ago), while women tend to only smoke tobacco.
  • I think my adopted son may have FASD. He has had open heart surgery, has an IQ of a 72, has the epicanthal folds, is almost 13 but he looks like he is 8 (short stature and underweight for his age), has speech issues, spatial problems, doesn't have very good coordination, has emotional issues, ticks with his eyes and mouth, and sometimes behavioral issues. I have asked his cardiologist and he said he hasn't been a GP in a while so I need to talk to his pediatrician. Pediatrician has referred me to an endocrinologist to check his hormones and a neurologist for his ticks. He has already had genetic testing done and results were fine but I strongly feel he has it. Who do I take need to see to get a diagnosis?

    It could just be ASD (Acute Seasoning Deficiency), caused by not getting enough of the essential spices and seasonings, like A-1 Sauce, soy sauce, mustard, or cayenne pepper.
  • How bout show some WITH these features not without?? I mean what’s the point of this video?
  • I totally disagree with this video. Most of the videos i have seen ,  are not a lot about the physical appearance. Actually it says most FASD kids don't have any outward physical features. Most has to do with IQ ,  it has to do with brain damage. From what i gather, if you drank at a certain time, you may have physical deformities, if you drank at other times, you will have brain damage. ect,,,,, It is a very wide spectrum of issues.

    Idk why sum ppl want to make another human being feels less normal when they look and act normal just like everybody else. Just because someone is less intelligent ppl think they are not normal or just because someone have a body abnormality means they aren't normal. Why can't these so called doctors, government and psychologists just leave ppl alone to just live their life. As long as an individual know their surroundings, know what's good for them, and know their daily living routines, they are normal.
  • What disorder does the guy doing the lecture have? Just curious. If that's "normal".....count me out. Just saying.
