Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a term used to describe a range of problems that can occur in a child born to a woman who drank alcohol during pregnancy. There are several synonyms for FASD, including fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), alcohol-related birth defects (ARBD), alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND), and prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). FAS is the most severe form of FASD and is characterized by physical abnormalities, intellectual disability, and behavioral problems. ARBD and ARND are less severe forms of FASD but still involve problems with growth, development, and behavior. PAE is a broader term that includes any negative effects that alcohol can have on a developing fetus.
