the last two questions come from the section I had been waiting for Diagnosis and Treatment of FASD. Except I was disappointed.  I didn't really learn anything there I didn't already know.  It is a good site for the very basics - but WHERE is the advanced material on this!!!  I keep thinking it must exist somewhere.  I never find it though.
