Living with FASD is an educational and human interest show for those living with the effects of prenatal exposure to alcohol, their loved ones, and anyone interested in learning more about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, brought to you by someone with both professional and living experience with FASD. In this heartwarming episode of Living with FASD, host Patti Kasper reunites with her dear friend Robbie Seale, host of the FASD Family Life podcast. This special crossover episode is a delightful blend of shared experiences, mutual admiration, and invaluable insights into living with and understanding FASD.  Patti and Robbie discuss the profound impact of their respective podcasts, the importance of recognizing FASD as a medical diagnosis, and the challenges and triumphs of living with FASD. They delve into the nuances of adulting with FASD, the significance of self-care, and the critical need for compassionate support for individuals and families affected by prenatal alcohol exposure.  Robbie shares updates on her work with the Metis Nation of Alberta, while Patti reveals exciting new projects, including the second edition of her book "Sip by Sip" and a groundbreaking model for understanding the FASD spectrum. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom, camaraderie, and hope for anyone touched by FASD.  If you would like to suggest topics for the show or just to say hello, you can reach me at [email protected].
