Many of my listeners have written and to asked me to talk about the many health issues faced by our loved ones with FASD.  I met with three experts who join in in this episode to tackle the important conversation about comorbid physical and mental health issues that often present alongside FASD.  My guests on this episode are Myles Himmelreich, Emily Hargrove, and CJ Lutke, each one has firsthand experience with this reality. Each of my guests has a diagnosis of FASD as well as a long list of medical diagnosis and challenges as a result of prenatal alcohol exposure.  Myles, CJ< and Emily are members of the Adult Leadership Committee of the FASD Changemakers, lead researchers and authors of The lay of the land: fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) as a whole-body diagnosis study. Join us as we discuss their groundbreaking research that led to the discovery of the 428 comorbid conditions common with FASD.  You will be awed by their strength and tenacity when you hear their joy, enthusiasm and zest for life. The lay of the land: fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) as a whole-body diagnosis study was published in the Routledge Handbook for Social Workers and Addictive Behavior. https://www.routledge.com/The-Routledge-Handbook-of-Social-Work-and-Addictive-Behaviors/Begun-Murray/p/book/9781032336619
