I'm a kindergarten teacher and I suspect one of my students has this. It breaks my heart. He has all the features. He cries frequently and it's hard to know how to help him sometimes
This deserves rather 5 million views, then the 5000 it has so far. And I do hope, that more research goes in to how problems present themselves in the lives of people with FASD, since it is a life long condition! Alone from the viewpoint of reducing criminal behavior and trying to help criminal offenders to stop repeating themselves, this is worth many millions of research funding! Some people with FASD do marry, which of course will end in many nasty divorces, as they are incapable of putting themselves in the other person's shoes. So much still to do to diminish the costs of FASD, both in emotional, physical and financial suffering! With an estimated 2% to 5% of the population of 333 million inhabitants, those are 6,67 to 16.6 million Americans!
I think a lot more people have this than we'll ever really know. It explains a lot about what we're seeing in this world, right now. The generational curses are really real 😮 Ty
... It's not a curse! It's a physical condition! The behavioral problems of the former generations are continued in the latter, as the former shape the latter both by using alcohol during pregnancy and by their own off behavior. That has nothing whatsoever to do with a 'curse' or 'spell'. That you would think this, based on this video, is quite alarming to me and shows a very deep lack of understanding in you.
@@gardenjoy5223 when the sins of the parents are taken out on the children, that is the definition of a generational curse. Yes it's a psysical abnormality; brought forth by the parent's sins Again the definition of a generational curse.
@@laraparks7018 Don't know which 'church' you go to, that you believe such a thing to be a curse. A curse is a very serious thing. Your theology is quite a horrid way of looking at things. Feel sorry for you and all in your cult / denomination.
Fasd affects the part of brain responsible for impulse control and emotions, many people develop substance abuse and all the legal ramifications of that because they are using drugs to try and regulate their emotions. I have comparatively minor neurological issues due to fasd but still am prone to difficulty keeping my temper. Sometimes minor things give me meltdowns. I can easily see how someone with fasd is more at risk for following their violent impulses or prone to taking other people's property. "I want, I take, I have." It's like the part of our brain that can see the future consequences of our actions isn't functioning correctly. edit: Personally I know when my impulsive behavior is wrong, but when emotions are high it feels impossible to control my actions, broken things while angry etc.
Indeed, there are! And many of those could have been helped for half the costs of their incarceration! Crazytacolady has given you a very insightful reply already. I second that as a pedagogue for governmental youth care with a Master's Degree. People with FASD have difficulty regulating their emotions big time and also have a truly diminished insight in what their behavior does to others. Those things don't help learning from mistakes so they are repeat offenders usually. Their lawyers thinking they are mad and their judges trying harsher and harsher punishments. Which never work, though.
I am a rare find. I'm an Adult with a diagnosis of Severe Fetal Alcohol Syndrome & I still have pretty obvious facial features. I STRUGGLE so much because when I was young there was NOT very much information, knowledge or help. I fell between the cracks. I'm struggling with obtaining Disibility Benefits and I have never been able to Obtain and MAINTAIN any gainful employment. I've been called lazy, I've been treated like a liar. It's been a living nightmare for me. I have a hearing coming up. I was categorized as a Discipline Problem by the School System I grew up in. I was adopted at birth, however, the first pediatrician IMMEDIATELY told my parents I had FAS & a heart murmur as well. I'm extremely mentally exhausted at my age (43) and experience a lot of Anxiety and other mental issues as a result of lack of help as a child. If you can help me in ANY way, any way at all, with possibly explaining to the hearing judge about SEVERE FAS. I am drowning and it's extremely depressing and stressful when NO ONE gets it.
Hi, that must for sure be very exhausting! You don't choose such a life. Is there Any way at all to contact the office of the first pediatrician. The doctor might be passed away, but if there is anything about FAS on paper about you, that might help. Also, I'd try to obtain the real diagnosis, even yet, for indeed it can open doors to you. To be honest (knowing many with FASD), they do tend to all be extremely lazy, they do lie to an unbelievable extend, and they do have huge discipline problems. It's part of the package, please don't deny it, because acknowledging it helps shape other people's view of you, especially when you honestly state, that all with your condition face the exact same problems. For they do. Denying the obvious has never brought anyone favor, also not in court. Are you still in contact with your adoptive parents? Or have you been so mean to them, that they broke off all contact to maintain some quality of life. For - let's face it - you are often no sunshine to live with and probably had major discipline problems at home as well. If they are still in your life and willing, they might help you get the late FAS diagnosis and testify on your behalf in court. Furthermore, try to find a lawyer, who is already informed about what FAS is and does in a person, and have him provide the court with a synopsis of problems you have, that all stem from this diagnosis. Well, I see you wrote this 9 months ago, so it may come to late, but perhaps it will still benefit you in some way. Or otherwise benefit someone else, who is reading along. Life has not been fair to you! Then again, you have not been fair to mostly all people around you either. It's intertwined. You didn't ask for this and as such you are a victim. On the other hand your behavior has more than likely left a trail of victims behind your back as well. I'm not trying to incriminate you here! But it is wiser to be real about it. As for autistic 'qualities', you can let yourself be tested. Make sure you mention the FAS, since that might well include some of your more autistic behaviors, without you needing a second diagnosis. Preferably you first get the FAS diagnosis and then discuss the symptoms that are quite autistic as well. For most anyone with FAS has such problems understanding other people's views and feelings, that FAS on itself is sufficient as a diagnosis. Yet, a comorbidity might exist. Concerning MS: see a neurologist, but also don't fail here to mention your FAS, since that also is a neurological disorder in itself. Yes, you can have both. In fact, auto-immune diseases are found slightly more in the FASD population. To be sure: Did you really mean MS and not ME, since you don't mention motor-function disabilities, but you did mention extreme exhaustion. Mind you: the extreme mental exhaustion is well enough explained from living with untreated and under-assisted FAS for so long. In this stage of your life and you being neglected in getting the help you needed with your FAS for so long already, and you never being able so far to be able to hold a job, in my country you would be eligible for obtaining Disability Benefits. Don't know your country of course. I'm extremely sorry for you, that your life has been such a horrid struggle so far. Can only say, that I find your reaching out here a sign of good will and intelligence! This video might in itself be real helpful to you, since it gives bullet points of possible area's where you struggle in your life. It could be beneficial to you to just go past each and every category and bullet point and make a list in that same following order of what you've been up against. Anything that comes to mind might be helpful. Are there still IQ test results of you anywhere to be found? The discrepancy between your vocal and other skills might be revealing. How is your handwriting? Did you have speech therapy, walk- or write therapy? Wishing you all the best! And I would like to get a reply, since I really tried my best to be of some assistance here. That's not what everyone does or can. I gave you much of my time and knowledge, so a contentual reply would be helpful for me to assess, if in this way I can help just a bit from across the globe.
God bless you, you have overcome such extreme obstacles. I know someone who is 10 years older than you and is having the same difficulties, has had them his whole life. All I can say is, get to know Jesus. He loves you just as you are and is eagerly awaiting for you to embrace Him. Please visit a Catholic church and speak with a priest about receiving your sacraments. My FASD person was confirmed at age 45 and is progressing so well at this point. Daily prayer is needed for unfailing help. Believe in miracles and expect yours. You will get through this.
A girl in a classroom I taught a specialty class in, is FASD. Her face bears *all the traits. Her behavior also indicated learning disability and being off socially. She's quite outgoing, but awkward.
With an estimated 2 to 5% of the US population having FASD, you have one of those in every second to every single classroom. Most undetected. Yet very much in need of assistance! She has FASD, not IS that. She is herself with all her unique traits, but marred by FASD and its distinguishable marks.
Nice to look at the angle of adults. There's almost no information out there. Yet, children with FASD grow up to become adults with FASD. And usually they have a Very Difficult teenage and young adult time, where multiple things go very wrong. One thing to highlight: people with FASD have a huge difficulty learning from mistakes. Making them repeat offenders too. When they get through that and things are somewhat sorted out, then certain disabilities stay with them. Like disorganization, like a way too short fuse and a way too big mouth getting them in trouble at school and at work and basically everywhere, truly not being able to understand other people so having problems in more intimate relationships. Some problems of childhood may seem gone or lesser during adulthood, but can re-occur when aging! I know of a 70 year old male, who started to pee besides the pot again and who just couldn't manage to lock all the doors of his own business property. Then, when those near him stepped in, he'd get very frustrated with their help and accuse them of abuse; where he in fact was abusing them emotionally. Life just always stays different. Real friends are seldomly there and spouses have to endure A LOT! Irresponsible behavior combined with blaming others for their own mistakes don't help any relationship to be stable. Divorce and substance abuse most often follow. Yet, when not hindered in the moment, their true selves (aside from the difficulties FASD bring) can shine through and they are es endearing and helpful as others. Until they hurt the closest ones around them big time, once again. Roller coaster lives, where they finally seek to (again) isolate themselves in work and/or alcohol and/or sex without boundaries.
So sorry to read about your desperation! In which country do you live? How old are you now? Guessing your General Physician is of no use at all in finding you help, right?

This is so underrated this illness it needs to be known more so people cannunderstand the brain
Yes. I see this in many people who most likely don't have a diagnosis.
I think a lot more people have this than we'll ever really know. It explains a lot about what we're seeing in this world, right now.

12:04 I am curious what constitutes "inappropriate choice of friends"
I'm in NC, but was born and raised in NJ
Can FASD and MS be related. I have FASD and the possibility of MS. DUE TO THE MASS ON MY BRAIN THAT WAS THERE AT 14 WHEN I WAS DIONEST
Worked in CPS and a good 70% of kids on my caseload were the result of FAS and/or substance use during pregnancy
A girl in a classroom I taught a specialty class in, is FASD. Her face bears *all the traits. Her behavior also indicated learning disability and being off socially. She's quite outgoing, but awkward.

I need help I was digonsed at 14 with FAS. Tho we all now there's a lot more to it. I can't find help I am despert
So sorry to read about your desperation! In which country do you live? How old are you now?

focus more general rather than adult- disappointing
