Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder is the only disorder among the options that can cause developmental, neurological, and behavioural delays in infants and young children that persist into adulthood. Neonatal abstinence syndrome and physiological dependence disorder are related to substance use during pregnancy or withdrawal from substances, but do not necessarily result in long-term developmental delays. Concurrent disorder is a term used to describe the co-occurrence of a mental health and substance use disorder, and is not specific to infants and young children.
