Can someone explain why they’re saying the name of the condition is harsh?

[@octobermaskwa3528]

I searched it up and nothing came up for me. I'll keep looking though, hoping to find answers to this too

[@joycefuentes9201]

@@octobermaskwa3528 i believe it’s an inside joke of some sort. Could it be that they’re culture doesn’t recognize FASD and it’s kind of a culture shock? I know when I first heard of it I was a bit taken a back but through watching documentaries and clips like this you begin to have sympathy for the birth mothers, as shaming accomplishes nothing but delayed treatment.

[@user-ey8jz1zr2b]

Probably because it links you to an actual action that has caused your child harm. Whilst there is no question about what substance you abused whilst pregnant with your child, it’s not always clear why you were drinking. Some may have addiction, some may have just been unaware of their pregnancy. Then, if your child is diagnosed, the substance that you technically abused is in the name of your child’s disability. It’s very rare a birth mum will get their child screened for FASD let alone be open about it. Most advocates who are mums are adoptive parents.

Fasd is a joke that means very bad but no one tells you what it means because it doesn't mean anything but just says it's bad
