| 52. FAS manifesting itself? |
|
Not that I am trying to place any diagnosis on him, but it makes me wonder if his mama had one too many martinis when she was in the family way with him.
I was reading stories on fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS)and the effects on verbal and motor skills, and wondered, gee, is it possible this man had this problem? Now we see the effects on older people.
A few examples: the klutziness, his inability to talk coherently and logically, his battles with the bottle (and I don't think he has stopped).
FAS manifests itself differently from person to person, but from looking at this person's biography just makes me wonder...this guy is not all there....
