Support and Understanding
I went to my first FASD support group...it was so helpful to be there, among other parents who truly understand what we're dealing with.
One of many things that brought me comfort was this understanding:
FASD is not a character flaw, it is not a reflection on me as a parent. It is physiological...a physical brain damage.
The shift in the role of treatment is from fixing the person to understanding them differently, providing accommodations and paradoxically achieving improvements and by extension to contribute to advancing thinking and supporting change in all systems. -Diane Malbin
