A member asked:
Can my previous crack usage have contributed to my sons disability?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Yes. Using crack as well as a multitude of other substances can potentially effect how a child develops, learns and grows. Other common substances with known effects include alcohol, tobacco, other forms of cocaine, and a huge list of over the counter and prescription medications. Different substances effect children in different ways. I urge you to talk to your son's doctor about this.
