I have reluctantly written a letter today to my youngest daughters Rainbow leader.
Dd2 and 3 both have FASD.
The trouble is that it is very difficult to tell people that is their diagnosis and not say they are adopted!
Not many people are aware that our girls are adopted, very
Much a need to know basis, so, when dd3 started Rainbows I told the leader she had a condition similar to ADHD, as many people recognise this condition.
I have always felt the leader was not very understanding or supportive to her behaviours, and it came to a head today when the leader said something along the lines of " time to grow up "
So, I decided that nobody will ever understand FASD if we are not prepared to stand up and talk about it.
I hope the letter and leaflet I enclosed will help her leader to understand dd3 better.
