In this episode of The FASD Success Show, I’m talking to a professional who has dedicated her career to understanding, advocating, and supporting families and individuals with FASD. So much so, she wrote her thesis on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, which she has just turned into an e-book: A Complicated & Beautiful Brain.  

Angela Geddes refers to it as a guide to understanding the effects of prenatal exposure to alcohol (PAE) and what Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) looks like across the lifespan. It is a resource manual filled with not only general information on FASD but provides insights into building a more inclusive service delivery system.  

We talk about her book, her journey, how and what she thinks the system needs to do to be more responsive as well as giving some quick tips for caregivers on accommodations that can be implemented right now and what you can say if professionals are not aware of PAE/FASD. 

She is currently in private practice providing education, advocacy and direct support for individuals and families experiencing complex issues including the impact of PAE/FASD.
