Every time there is a thread on here about drinking during pregnancy there are always loads of replies saying how they drank alcohol and their child is fine. I try not to read them because I get so wound up.

Having a child with FAS and knowing how much it affects not only the child’s life, but everyone else around them, makes it really frustrating to see people playing down drinking in pregnancy!

If people knew the reality of living with it everyday I’m sure a lot less people would take the risk Sad

Yes I have. She is 12 yrs old now, and beginning the puberty journey. She has had a consistent trail of issues/encounters involving peer relationships; being influenced by the wrong peers, being set up, being controlled. Just this year, she is 'blanking out" on memory on times tables. Other than that, she is uniquely talented. An amazing artist, plays piano and violin, but cannot read notes. Works very hard at school and self directs for homework. Memory issues are becoming problematic. I am looking for an app (preferable not for an apple i-phone) that can help to prompt her to forgotten tasks, sequencing on chores and hygiene. Can someone recommend one, please. Also, she cannot grasp the concept of time and the clock. Going for an assessment very soon.
