Understanding FASD: My Journey and the Importance of Recognizing Its Organic Nature

My experience with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) emphasizes the importance of understanding it as an organic issue. FASD is rooted in physical changes caused by prenatal alcohol exposure, leading to a wide range of challenges, including cognitive, mental health, and physical issues. Recognizing FASD as an organic issue shifts the focus from blame to support and accommodations, fostering a more inclusive and supportive community. By raising awareness, we can ensure that individuals with FASD receive the necessary care and support to lead fulfilling lives.

TODAY’S NOTE: I currently work with over 20 professionals and the top specialists in my health care system. You don’t get to the top without devastating REALITIES! In Solidarity, Liz
