I never had any alcohol during my pregancy with any of my children.  Unless 
some how, it is passed on thru the sperm of the father.  My husband has a 
drinking problem.  FAS, is usually a condition where the mother drinks during 
her pregnancy.
Why are we seeing an upsurg in ADD when curreintly there is more awarness of 
abstaining from alcholh use during pregnancy.  They used to say back in the 
50's that some form of alcohol, in moderation was okay, now there are lables 
on all bottles of alcohol with warnings to pregnant women.
I'll bet you will get a lot of messages from this, are you accusing everyone 
who has an ADD child that they drank during thier pregnancies?
