As highlighted in Part I, the first recognition of FASD, at that point only FAS, dates back to 1973. The fundamental features described at that point had not significantly changed. Over the subsequent decades, the focus has shifted from considering physical stigmata to more trying to understand the neurological presentation and the pathological mechanisms underlying these. A recognition has developed that there are significant overlaps with other conditions. However, to some extent the knowledge related to this remains in its infancy, despite nearly 50 years of research into this area. Clarity and consistency remain a challenge. |
