Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological condition caused by damage to the developing brain, often occurring before, during, or shortly after birth. It primarily affects movement, muscle tone, coordination, and posture. Recognizing the **warning signs of cerebral palsy in infants**…

Fetal alcohol damage, primarily caused by prenatal alcohol exposure, can have profound effects not only on the individual directly exposed in utero but may also influence subsequent generations, including grandchildren. This phenomenon is linked to the concept of *transgenerational epigenetic…

Conservatives who argue that **alcohol is more dangerous than vaccines for autism** often do so within a broader skepticism about vaccine safety and government health recommendations, emphasizing perceived risks of vaccines while downplaying or redirecting attention to other substances like…

**Alcohol-related brain injuries in babies are not classified as Asperger’s syndrome.** Instead, they fall under different diagnostic categories, primarily fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), which are distinct from autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including Asperger’s syndrome. To understand why, it is…

There is a recognized connection between **binge drinking during pregnancy** and developmental disorders in children, particularly **Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)**, but the direct link between binge drinking in pregnancy and **autism spectrum disorder (ASD)** is less clear and remains…

The question of whether **alcohol mixed with antidepressants during pregnancy increases the risk of autism** in children is complex and requires careful examination of current scientific evidence. To address this, it is important to consider the effects of alcohol, antidepressants…

Some studies ignore alcohol’s role in Asperger’s diagnoses primarily because **Asperger’s syndrome (now part of Autism Spectrum Disorder, ASD) is considered a neurodevelopmental condition with genetic and early developmental origins, rather than one caused or significantly influenced by alcohol exposure**.…

Fathers’ alcohol use before conception may have an impact on the risk of developmental disorders in their children, including features related to fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), but the evidence linking paternal alcohol use specifically to autism risk is less…

Prenatal alcohol exposure can cause a range of neurodevelopmental problems collectively known as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), which often include behavioral, cognitive, and social difficulties that may resemble symptoms seen in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), including Asperger’s syndrome. Because…
