You’re amazing ~ you have the courage and presence to do a RUclips channel which not everyone can do. You also have a lovely calming manner and you’re very pretty too! You have a great future ahead of you! 🌸
Hi, i've just come across your video. I have been diagnosed with FASD. I've always wanted to talk to someone who has the same condition that I can relate too. Amazing video!! 💗💪Stay strong
You have such a great attitude, its so right that what matters is putting in a good effort and doing the best you can for you, I'm sure everyone around you is super proud of how hard you've worked to get to where you are. Very wise of you to view it that way I must say. I worked for a bit as a 1 on 1 TA for a 7 yo with FAS and you've given me so much hope for his future, I can only hope that he learns to take his challenges in his stride like you do 🥰
You are a strong girl and an amazing person. We all have struggles , some by our own hand and some are given to us. If everyone had the strength that you have it would make it alot easier. Thank you for sharing your story! Much Love!
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. You're a highly admirable and inspiring character, and you're also very pretty and quite articulate, which, to me, demonstrates a level of intelligence that is impressive. I greatly appreciate your upload, and your resolve in general. You're awesome!
you're beautiful and intelligent. that's all I see when I look at you and listen to you. FASD isn't holding anything back for you in those categories. It must be difficult to live with attention deficit, but lots of us without FASD have that, too!
@Cool Story Bro thank you so much for this comment. it's not all that often that we speak to someone as perfect as you are. well "Claim to be should I say" :)
Because alcohol is legal, people think it's not a harmful drug. But it's one of the most harmful of all legal or illegal drugs and women drinking alcohol and damaging their babies while still in the womb is one of the most heartbreaking effects. Why do these women do it? Surely they must've known during their pregnancy that alcohol is a no go yet still drank? In many cases mental illnesses must account for this behaviour. Whatever the explanation, this young woman's openness and positivity is inspiring. All the best to her.
I took a course on this, and I want to add that consuming alcohol is more dangerous than taking drugs while pregnant. The damages are permanent with alcohol, but the damages of drugs can last for years but they eventually are out of the child's body. I do not encourage women to take drugs while they are pregnant. I am only mentioning this comment to show how alcohol is the worst thing a pregnant woman can consume. Unfortunately, the children suffer the consequences.
When crack cocaine use became rife in certain communities in the USA in the late 80s and then in the UK, it was projected that there'd be numerous 'crack babies' born to crack cocaine addict mothers. These children would suffer from permanent intellectual and personality impairment that would result in their being disadvantaged in employment and prone to criminality. These fears never materialised. For sure a pregnant woman doing crack cocaine isn't doing her unborn child any favours, but the damage done is insignificant compared to that done were she to regularly drink alcohol.
Hi lovely . My son luke has fasd. He's 29 now . He use to be very anxious and worry alot but now he is on risperidol and he feels great . Happy . He will always struggle with life but he's not too bad at all. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Good luck lovely God bless you xxxxx
There's no known safe amount of alcohol a pregnant woman can have. Only study there is that two glasses in one sitting can already so noticeable damage
Don't smoke pot while your pregnant either! My niece did that. And the results are not good. An eight-year-old who behaves like a scatterbrained five-year-old. And the results are going to get worse as she gets older. Because her younger brother is going to outsmart her in a few years and then leave her behind even though he's quite a bit younger. Think about how bad she'll feel that her much younger brother is smarter than her. Do not smoke pot while you're pregnant!! Just a little FYI
@@ashleysanford8645 yes! My mother drank alcohol and smoke cigarettes when she was pregnant with me and my brother (i wouldn't be surprised if she smoked weed too) and while we were lucky enough to be soared facial deformities we were both left shorter than the rest of the family, me with a sensitivity to alcohol, ADHD, autism and dysgraphia. My younger brother from another mother both outgrew and outsmarted me when I was 15 and he was 12. To this day at age 20 i suffer from inferiority being the dumbest in the family despite not being the youngest. A little story, i was at a bar with some friends and i saw a pregnant lady with a cocktail and i had to go outside to process it. I was so angry and so upset at what I saw because there's no excuse to drinking while pregnant
Thanks for sharing your story. I would just like to say that you are beautiful. Furthermore, all things can be overcome. Any birth defects. And nobody was born perfect. So we are all with you as imperfect humans. And we all can heal if we make good choices in life.
I don’t get it either. I ate a vodka pasta while pregnant and cried for two hours after because I was convinced it would hurt our baby, it took my poor husband hours to console me (our son is completely fine). I get if you have a problem and then find out you’re pregnant, but I wish those women would go to an OB and explain their situation. At least in the US every OB office I’ve ever been to has resources for mothers who are addicted to something. I’m sure there’s doctors who would judge which is sad, but most providers I know would be so grateful if a pregnant woman with an issue like that sought help early and be so happy to help
My name is alexia and I also fasd. My whole life I struggled with learning in school I was in a special Ed class. I also struggled with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety I struggled with a lot of other things I don't know you but I understand and we are in this together
I believe I have this too but I’m not sure I just found out recently my mom was drunk when she gave birth to me… I have learning disabilities and dropped out of school because of it.
It is so beyond me how women can drink alcohol whilst pregnant. Surely it's common knowledge that alcohol and cigarettes are to be avoided whilst pregnant.
I have FASD, I hope you know that You and I have a very low life expectancy of 31 to 39 years... I'm 25, so I have 9-12 years left to live according to this... I hope you outlive that expectancy, for me if I die toward these 2 age ranges... at least I don't have to suffer anymore.
They used to tell women it was okay to have two glasses of wine per week while pregnant then after 2006/07 they then said no amount of alcohol was safe.
And it really sucks that you and me. Both with fasd have a life expectancy of only 34 years old. I'm turning 32 next month and I'm thinking like. Fuck it might as well get drunk every night seeing as I'm going to die anyway but I don't want to do that on the slimmest hope it turns out not to be correct. Honestly I'm terrified. 😢😢
It's not like you're suddenly going to drop d£ad the second you turn 34. From what I've learned the shorter life expectancy for People with FAS/FASD is largely due to external factors like su!cide, not eating or sleeping well, using drugs, smoking cigarettes or drinking too much alcohol. This means that if you try to make healthier choices, you can likely effect your life expectancy (goes for all of us, really). Wish you all the best!
I'm currently stressed out because I fear that my baby will have fetal alcohol syndrome I stopped drinking around 13 weeks thank you for sharing your story I wish I knew how much your mom drank I'm waiting for my 17-week scan to see if they detect anything, I'm trying my best to manifest a healthy baby I've already grew up on and love my baby like I said thanks for sharing being strong and beautiful!
Your baby will likely be fine. I was terrified when I found out I was pregnant at around 2 and a half months because I had no idea, was on birth control and had been drinking a few beers a few times a week. My daughter is 10 months old perfect and beautiful. It’s more than likely with stopping that early on your baby will be fine :) and mama we can’t prevent what we don’t know.
Half the time it seems that way because some women with fas don't understand consequences. So they drink when they are pregnant just like their mom did but no it's not genetic.
Does the condition efect voice pitch? I’ve noticed when I was a kid my voice was raspy and deep at age 8. I sounded like a teenage boy at age 14. Puberty was also early. I also have FAS. I’ve noticed your voice is on the deeper side too. Your defiantly a contralto.
My name is alexia and I also fasd. My whole life I struggled with learning in school I was in a special Ed class. I also struggled with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety I struggled with a lot of other things I don't know you but I understand and we are in this together

Thank you for bringing awareness. This condition is way more common than people realize. Sending you good vibes❤
I really respect your openness with discussing something so personal
You’re a strong person girl, I love your confidence and knowledge. Stay strong beautiful!

same thing for nicotine, its legal but its very harmful for the smoker as well as those around it.

Make sure to get your heart checked. Friends of ours adopted a girl with FASD. She had serious heart problems that eventually took her life

How about don’t drink alcohol at all! Simple!
@@FirstnameLastname-jo7sc You sure told her!
@@SlavicUnionGaming She's cured, you figured it out.
Can your own children be effected if you have FASD?
No, not unless the mother drinks. That's the only thing that causes kids to have FAS. My mom drank while I was in her stomach. So I would know.
Half the time it seems that way because some women with fas don't understand consequences. So they drink when they are pregnant just like their mom did but no it's not genetic.
