Respuesta :

Fetal Alchohol Syndrome. 

We can come to this conclusion based on the fact that the mother drank alcohol during the pregnancy, and upon birth the child was significantly underweight. Coupled with the suppressed development of the child both in physical and mental symptoms, it is clear that the child suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome.
