I played ice hockey with a young bloke who had FAS and he was an absolute mess. Zero impulse control, low intelligence and addicted to anything he could get his hands on.
Some of his behaviour would have earned another person a beating but everyone knew and tried… correcting his behaviour a bit more gently.
His dad was clearly making an effort but it was ruining both their lives and he had divorced.
Young bloke ended up offing himself.
On an equally depressing note, once you know what to look for you see FAS fairly regularly in porn.
That last one. Ooof. But what specifically?
From Wikipedia, though it is mentioned only 10% of People with FAS have these characteristics.
Damn I cannot read that. Black text on black bacground with transparent image.
The key signs of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) required for diagnosis include:
Skill issue. jk, you can right click and select open in new tab, had a white background for me then. (you could also click the wikipedia link, for me it had no dark mode aswell)
I am on my phone. I even switched to light mode but when opening the image it still had a black background. The main issue is with the original image having a fucking transparent one for some godforsaken reason.
Had a friend in high school who had an adopted sibling with FAS. Her parents were great people and provided him with opportunities in life that he never would have had otherwise.
But the real hero was that friend, she was his eyes, ears and guardian angel all in one. Nobody fucked with this kid because she was the embodiment of "not the one"
