Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is caused by the exposure of a developing fetus to alcohol during pregnancy. When a pregnant woman consumes alcohol, it can cross the placenta and affect the developing brain and other organs of the fetus. This exposure can lead to a range of physical, behavioral, and cognitive impairments collectively known as FASD. The severity of the disorder can vary depending on factors such as the amount and timing of alcohol consumption.
