Alcohol is the root of many evils! FDA should be held to account

How much responsibility does the FDA need to take for lke of public warning and education for Fetal Alcohol syndrome?

Justin Shepherd! So weird to see you and watch you as a man as opposed to when we were just goofy teenagers!! lol! I haven't seen you in 27ish years! lol. What a neat and meaningful project that you have spear headed here. I'd love to connect and catch up! Dustin Doll (from high school back at Sherwood).

Thank you for mentioning the lack of knowledge /awareness of fasd in adults, this is frustrating when trying to learn about yourself at 32

Please please please do not stop this pages potential growth, KZbin has sooo much opitunty to help spread the awareness needed, please make more videos and if you could make some around adult life and what it's like as I am 32 and starting to research it myself after living with it and just thinking "it doesn't define me".. Sadly it does.. I've come far and done great but at a time when thinking about having kids comes into my life... I'm seriously doubting I could handle it with a full time job. Thank you for helping spread the word

Thank you for this video! It's well documented and very important for this area!

Great job

WE SHOULD SAVE CHILDREN MINORS GEN Z YOUTH ALL

I have FASD (ARND) with autism, epilepsy and Tourette’s/ADHD

Thank you for making this documentary and informing some of us who don't know much about FASD what we need to know. It was very informative.

Contact major media; that is when they will pay attention.

Saturday Night Live NEEDS to issue a public apology. Watching that was horrific. Such moronic humour. If they don't apologise at the very least it speaks volumes about their attitude towards disabilities.

Ty

Question: if they didnt include the punchline, would you have known the character's condition? Im learning about this now. So...if its just a caricature and it doesn't fit shouldn't we all be receiving educational points to learn how really a person with FASD would act? Maybe frame by frame? And call it an ignorant portrayal of a real condition? I would like to know more.

Very good video!

For me I was lucky because my biological mother was already being watched for it because they knew she was drinking alcohol. It was after my second siezure around 2 years also where I was officially diagnosed. Where they looked for indicators. I was diagnosed With FASD ARND I had developmental delays, and I have memory issues. I have Vision hearing, and sensory issues. I struggle with memory Retaining and learning disabilities.I am lucky it hasn't affected me as much of others because it very well could of. For me it wasn't ever anything talked about. They instead said it was ADHD but I believe... It's possible that many diagnosed with ADHD. May possibly have FASD. And are misdiagnosed because of the stigma. Its something to think about.

Thankyou so much for this. I made a TikTok about the skit myself and I'm going to be following you for now on thankyou for standing up for us!!

Thank you for your testimony!

Does FASD prevent people from changing the channel?

If y'all ever stop in Alabama I'm here to talk! Or help in anyway I can... There is such a huge gap in services for FASD

As a person with ARND spectrum with FASD, I just hope people still understand not everyone will get involved with the criminal system. This is of course depending on the severity of FASD. I never dropped out of school, have any criminal record... always been a nice fun bubbly person.. mostly struggle with math, certain words using in speech, can't drive or work an actual job etc... so I have my own personal job. And there is differnt forms of FASD that isn't mentioned in the film... of course there is soo much about FASD, makes sense you can't all fit it in a short film.. but only just to start the conversation.. There is alot of people out there tho that have no clue they are pregnant and drinking until like 20 weeks In... so I guess this means to not drink any alcohol at all if you are sexually active ?

Excellent information

This project is so amazing and important! Everyone should be aware that there is no safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy. That pregnant women with addiction issues should not be stigmatized and should be supported in recovery. That individuals with FASD and those that care for/about them deserve to be seen, heard and supported!

Yikes!

What is being done to education obstetricians to end the stigma that it is ok to drink while pregnant?

I was familiar with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome but this documentary expanded my knowledge about its being not so much a syndrome as a spectrum disorder. Very informative in so many ways!

This is an excellent video full of both personal stories and expert advice about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. Everyone needs to know about the detrimental effects alcohol will have on a fetus when you are sexually active (and may not even realize you are pregnant!).

What is the name of the group home that the girls referred to in the film? Also, where is it located?

This is such an informative video to bring awareness to such a critical need. Very polished editing and narration also, very clear and gets to the key points!

We're interested in hosting a screening!
