This article from Creating a Family states, “Having your child receive a diagnosis of FASD can bring a mix of emotions. On one hand, it can be a relief to finally feel heard and understood by medical professionals, to gain answers to your child’s challenges, and to have everyone working from the same understanding. It can also feel overwhelming to take in so much new information at once. Give yourself time to process the diagnosis and consider these important next steps.”
