Matthew's symptoms suggest the presence of alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND). While he does not have the physical abnormalities associated with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), his impaired motor coordination, attention span, and memory are consistent with the neurobehavioral effects of prenatal alcohol exposure.
