Have you come across the term FASD? It’s called “Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder”

As the name suggests, they’re a group of conditions that can occur in a person whose mother consumed alcohol during pregnancy. Its considered the world’s no 1 disability & the most concerning part is there’s almost no awareness or recognition globally about it! And around 87% of the time its misdiagnosed!

However there’s hope & it begins with awareness! And to bring about a wide spread awareness.
