  • @jamiep003 I could see alcohol being worse, sure. Let's hope teenagers are smarter than that. But we also should recognize that teens have a lot of learning a head of them if they are getting pregnant at a young age.

  • @ggadguy actually there are studies out there that say alcohol is more damaging to a developing fetus than methamphetamines... also since drinking is highly more prevalent / a social thing among teens, while meth isn't, i highly doubt a teen who chooses to abstain from drinking based on facts about FAS will decide that meth is ok... that's just silly. teens are smarter than that.

  • Excellent series of videos. I admire so much all these wonderful women who are working toward improving this neglected problem. More needs to be publicized to inform the public of this all too common syndrome.

  • The System seems to seek to exploit people with mild inteletcual disabilities. Who else is going to work in factories on low wages.

  • Drinking is not equal to meth. They may be both damaging to fetuses, but they are not equal. Saying this is disinformation, and teens who hear this, who drink, may be more likely to use meth if they hear it's the same. Don't lump them together.

    Very informative set of videos.

  • Essential viewing for families, friends, colleagues, teachers of children with FASD. It's not sentimental, doesn't gloss over the issues, doesn't raise false hopes. And it's not a PSA about not-drinking during pregnancy -- this is for those who must live with the consequences. Thank you for posting these videos.

  • Thank you. Excellent training material for teachers and other service providers.

  • This has hit the nail on the head! Very well done!
