I have poor impulse control, anger, frustration, and mood swings, depression. It's not an easy way to live, but at least I have food and clothing and a home. Right? Two arms, two legs.Yay!

Big respect to Bobby. To him and those who have FASD: It is NOT your fault! You are worth every bit of time, love, and kindness.

Hi my name is Lydia, and I have FASD as well. My Birth mom drank alcohol when I was in her womb. I also have a twin brother that has it too. I was adopted when I was almost 3 years old. So beyond blessed i was accepted to a loving Christian family who loves me and my brother. Yes I have my days where I struggle with Trauma from the past. I also have bi Polar and emotional issues. I have ADHD as well. I’m now 26 married to an amazing Godly man. We have been married for 2 years. I have recently gotten another job. I love working playing sports and hanging out with friends, family, and my husband. I love making music and so does my husband.

S/o to Bobby! Despite his difference in brain structure/chemistry, he's more level-headed and coherent than a lot of neurotypical people I know.

Looking at him phsyically it's like looking into mirror, and lot of it is FASD facial characteristics. My FASD is mild and has been mostly shown itself in difficulties learning mathematics and on the other hand difficulties reading social cues and always picking on if somebody is being truthful or not, even when they're obviously joking.

Thanks for sharing your experience Bobby, id would have liked to hear what your day to day main difficulties are.

Bobby, thank you for sharing your experiences. Your confidence and honesty will help educate others. I'm on the autism spectrum myself and know too well the struggles we can face with invisible neurodevelopmental disabilities.

I do have FASD but the only thing I can see the changes is my mouth when I smile, speech difficulties and delays, having trouble with math and that's it for me

[doctorpanigrahi]

This guy is More Normal that Normal itself. I believe he conquered his mother's shortcomings.

[hannahmuscara]

People call me a pyschopath and pyschotic for having FASD😔

[Temms]

I'm sorry but this explained nothing about what people with FASD struggle with
