Alcohol has the most impact and the longest damage to an individual than any other drug.
Have you ever wondered about the hidden impacts of drinking during pregnancy? In this episode of the Soberoso podcast, host Dora Gosselin sits down with Natalie Vecchione, a dedicated advocate for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Natalie’s journey is both heart-wrenching and inspiring as she shares her 19-year experience raising a child with FASD, a condition caused by prenatal alcohol exposure.
Natalie opens up about her family's adoption story and the challenges they faced when they discovered their child had FASD. With honesty and empathy, she discusses the symptoms, diagnosis, and the lifelong effects of this often-overlooked condition. Through personal anecdotes, Natalie highlights the importance of understanding and support for those affected by FASD. Dora and Natalie dive into the critical need for awareness and advocacy.
They talk about the role of medical professionals in diagnosing and supporting individuals with FASD and emphasize how society can better understand and assist those impacted by prenatal alcohol exposure. Natalie’s mission is clear: to educate and encourage parents who might be in similar situations and to break the silence surrounding FASD. This episode is a blend of serious discussion and heartfelt moments, offering a powerful message of hope and action.
It’s a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the profound effects of alcohol on a developing child and how we can all contribute to a more informed and compassionate society.
