I think I may have FASD but unsure where to go from here
I’m a college student, who’s begun to learn a lot of about FASD. A lot of it reminds me of myself and the struggles I went through specifically as an adolescent. I still have struggles with different stuff (but I’m getting better), but things like achieving independence or other milestones have/are taking me a bit longer than others. I do know there was some drinking in the first month and the last trimester of my mother’s pregnancy. I’m unsure how much because she isn’t super reliable with telling the truth about still like this, but when I was younger she was a heavy drinker. I’d like to ask my dad because he would give me an honest answer, but I’m worried about what kind of catastrophe that could trigger. Testing is so expensive, and as a young woman I worry I wouldn’t be taken seriously.
Any advice or support?
