How is FAE most commonly diagnosed?

Fetal Alcohol Exposure (FAE) is most commonly diagnosed through a combination of clinical assessment and maternal history. Healthcare providers evaluate signs and symptoms in the child, such as growth deficiencies, facial abnormalities, and neurodevelopmental issues, alongside the mother's alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Diagnosis often involves interdisciplinary teams, including pediatricians and psychologists, to assess the child's development and behavior. There is no single test for FAE; rather, it relies on a comprehensive evaluation of the child's health and family history.
