Fetal alcohol syndrome is a condition in a child that results from alcohol exposure during the mother's pregnancy.
Greta looks like she has Fetal alcohol syndrome.
This refers to brain damage (in the form of permanent retardation) caused by a fetus being exposed to alcohol via the alcoholism of the mother. This is not to be confused with child abuse, which can also cause retardation and brain damage and be caused by alchoholism, but which involves children, which are alive, rather than fetuses, which are not fully alive, and thus inferior. Also not to be confused with the similar concepts of "crack babies" or "meth babies," which are completely unsubstantiated (and widely denounced, by those professionals who study such things) allegations propagated by the Church of Voodoo Pharmacology.
The phrase can be used as an explanation for unusually retarded behavior. See alcohol in the blood surrogate.
Did you see that Klan rally on TV yesterday? Talk about fetal alcohol syndrome.

an invisible disability. happens when the mother drinks alcohol (any type) while pregnant. It causes irreversible brain damage to the developing fetus if the mother drinks alcohol enough. Symptoms can be different in everyone so some people get diagnosed in very early childhood or adulthood.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is real, it's not fake.
