I don't know a ton about FASD - other than the studying I did prior to our adoption. I was able to talk with our ped after returning home and having some concerns - perhaps you could check in with your doc to see if he/she has any recommendations?
I would also check into how your school district will handle it. Does that qualify them for special ed? Will they have IEPs or will it be unnecessary due to their intelligence level? I have found that the high intelligence can be a hinderance when a child needs help socially or emotionally.
I'm sure you have done this - but read, read and read some more. There are a lot of great resources for older child adoption - especially related to attachment issues.
