Before I begin (unfortunately) feel I have to state that my 4 year old was a looked after child, premature and in NICU because her birth mother was under the influence of Drugs & Alcohol whilst pregnant. I did not carry her, nor would I intentional consume alcohol whilst knowingly pregnant.

Hello hello,
I have a 4 year old with FASD, I recently listened to two podcasts, and whilst looking for them was doing a look to see if there were any books I could read and my local library has 1! FASD is severely unrsearched, but the podcasts I listened to was so validating and insightful but I’m wondering if anyone has any resources they’d reccomend for understanding FASD more and how to adapt parenting styles to my child.
She definitely has speech problems, a prosessing delay, and anger / temperament issues and ADHD.
As an ADHD person myself there are days where I’m getting severely overwhelmed and snappy but I’m trying to remind her self that one she’s only 4, and two, this is the result of the alcohol this behaviour isn’t her fault per say.
But I would love love if anyone has reccomendations for resources to one learn and understand FASD more, but also to help with the anger & intense emotions, and definitely the speech!
