FASD with Myles Himmelreich

Raising awareness around FASD as a disorder that can affect anyone from any culture, society or background is an important step in removing the shame and stigma faced by children with FASD and their families. Lack of awareness around FASD has harmful effects on the well-being of these children and their families, who have the same rights as all other children and families to the supports and services they need to thrive.
On April 15, 2021, RCY released Excluded: Increasing Understanding, Support and Inclusion for Children with FASD and their Families, a report calling for the provincial government to take action to improve supports and services to children with FASD and their families.
Development of the report was co-led by Myles Himmelreich, who shares his experience as both a person with FASD and someone who works closely with children and youth with FASD.

Wow! You have come such a long way. It is so inspiring to watch you.

You are so clever . You don't even act as though you have fasd . My son has this disorder and he use to be very anxious and always hurt and upset . And also worried about things . He has been put on a drug called risperidol and its a wonder med. He's happy. He doesn't worry . He's more focused . He doesn't have mood swings . It's as if he doesn't even have fasd. It's a brilliant medication for the symptoms that people have with fasd. ❤❤❤❤❤

Love Myles. Have followed him for awhile, listened to a few presentations by him and was lucky enough to meet him in person a few years ago. I find him to be humble, kind, articulate, and an incredible advocate. His presentations are powerful.

... I was hoping he had a channel… I am blown away at how relatable his experience is, as someone who doesn't have classic FAS myself. honestly, listening to him makes me feel less alone and I would love to tell him this.
