Objectives
1. Diagnosis: Provide an update on FASD diagnosis, highlighting prevalence, clinically important features, and indications for follow-up.
2. Transition: Provide perspectives from adults with FASD who have many things to teach us.
3. Prevention: Discuss moving beyond stigma & stereotypes to different ways of seeing & doing.

Prenatal exposures (including FASD) can have later whole body effects.

Further Findings on FASD in the Same General Population City
In two additional samples in this same city, preliminary findings* presented at the 7th International Conference on FASD:
There were no differences in FASD rates by race or ethnicity in any of these samples (χ2 = 2.237 , df = 1, p = .135).

• Half estimated to have FASD themselves
• So, who is our patient?

Yes(Face 4)
Unknown hx (2)
No(Face <4)
PAE 3 PAE 4
Answer: When PAE history is unknown! But still do microarray to exclude phenocopies! Cannot be PAE 1 (no PAE)!

mentally ill, institutionalized, or suicidal)*Centers for Disease Control (R.F. Anda, MD) & Kaiser Permanente (V.J. Felitti, MD) of > 17,000 adult participants, grouped by decade of birth (going back to 1900) collected between 1995‐1997

Stress, circadian changesactivate HPA axis
↓Cascade of responses
↓Increased hormone levels (ACTH, glucocorticoids:cortisol, corticosterone)
↓Feedback to pituitary, hypothalamus, hippocampus and other brain areas (eg. PFC) →Decreased hormone levels

Two Eyed SeeingHow else to talk about FASD:
1. Fetal Stress Disorder – Alcohol can be a marker of
maternal stress.
2. Family Adversity & Stress Disorders: FASD or F‐ACES
3. FASD means you may have trouble making choices.
4. Friendships, Acceptance, Support & Dignity

Let’s Talk:Stigma & Stereotypes –
Where Do We Begin?
Loock 2017
What is the purpose of stigma?
No PurposeDivide and categorizePermits avoidance of actionPower and controlSeparate have/have notProcess of ‘othering’Blame and shameProtectionCreates and maintains dependency
Opens the door for discussionTo educateTo assess ourselvesHelp someone fit into a systemDecrease fear and anxietyAllows us to find fundingIt pays the bills!Way for brain to rationalize
Loock 2017
Where do we begin to change stigma and why?Start with ourselvesMake it safe to talk about FASD.Consider different names for different audiences (“NDD, ACES, Toxic Stress, FASD, FACES, CARDs). Improve understanding of why women drink in general and while pregnantNeed to find champions for FASDStay strengths-based.Have a longer lens : transitions & lifetime trajectoryIt starts today: talk to those around you.
