FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) results when a child is exposed to alcohol in its mother's womb.  In the last several decades physicians and researchers have come to understand the serious neurological damages that can occur with prenatal exposure to alcohol.  Some of the results manifested in the life of the church are children who are disruptive in Sunday school, seemingly sincere young adults who nevertheless impulsively make poor decisions, and adults who seem to bounce around from one crisis to the next.  Knowing that such persons have a disability that affects their brain and its ability to cope with stimuli and make sound judgments, opens up the church to new ways of thinking about sin and redemption and facilitates more helpful relationships with these persons.
