FASD (disambiguation)

Last updated March 31, 2019

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder is a continuum of permanent birth defects caused by maternal consumption of alcohol during pregnancy.

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) are a group of conditions that can occur in a person whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. Problems may include an abnormal appearance, short height, low body weight, small head size, poor coordination, low intelligence, behavior problems, and problems with hearing or seeing. Those affected are more likely to have trouble in school, legal problems, participate in high-risk behaviors, and have trouble with alcohol or other drugs. The most severe form of the condition is known as fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Other types include partial fetal alcohol syndrome (pFAS), alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND) and alcohol-related birth defects (ARBD). Some accept only FAS as a diagnosis, seeing the evidence as inconclusive with respect to other types.

South Buffalo Elementary was recently remodeled following the remodeling of Buffalo Elementary. They look similar but South Buffalo is smaller, while Buffalo is larger.
Unlike much of the rest of the industrial Allegheny River valley, this area has been experiencing modest population growth in recent years. That has led to the district reorganizing their schools for the 2015-2016 school year, to eliminate two school buildings and to open the new larger Freeport Area Middle School. Buffalo Elementary and South Buffalo Elementary house kindergarten through 5th grade, Freeport Middle School has grades 6 through 8, and the High School has grades 9 through 12.

The Pennsylvania Gazette publication is attributed to Benjamin Franklin and appears in his memoirs; however, a very similar wordlist appears in the New England Weekly Journal on July 6, 1736 and differences between the two suggest earlier origins by a different author. Franklin deemed drunkenness as a vice that could never be a virtue, so various terms and phrases were created to mask the inappropriateness of the act.
