Listen Later

Kenny, adopted at the age of 8, is a young business owner with FASD,  and the author of the book -  It's OK to Be You: Living Well with FASD or Other Disabilities. This book is for anyone with FASD or other disabilities. Kenny shares that many books are written for caregivers of people with disabilities, but this book is aimed at those who have disabilities. 

"This book is written by someone who lives with FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) and who understands the struggles of living with this disability on a daily basis. Kenny talks about his journey towards acceptance and how to better live with disabilities (and with those who love and care for you). This book focuses on the relationships one has with others, themselves, and the world at large. “It’s OK to Be You” seeks to affirm who you are, what you need, and gives you encouragement. While this book is not all-encompassing, it attempts to cover large swathes of daily living with FASD. If your life feels paralyzed by self-doubt because of your disabilities, this book will prod you to embrace the whole of who you are and that it is okay." - Book Blurb
