The National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (NOFAS) is the leading voice and resource of the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) community. Founded in 1990, NOFAS is the only international non-profit organization committed solely to FASD primary prevention, advocacy and support.
NOFAS seeks to create a global community free of alcohol-exposed pregnancies and a society supportive of individuals already living with FASD. NOFAS effectively increases public awareness and mobilizes grassroots action in diverse communities and represents the interests of persons with FASD and their caregivers as the liaison to researchers and policymakers. By ensuring that FASD is broadly recognized as a developmental disability, NOFAS strives to reduce the stigma and improve the quality of life for affected individuals and families.
The statements made in this video do not necessarily represent the views or positions of NOFAS.

Thank you for sharing your story. You did a great job! I am very proud of you for realizing you need help and for accepting it. I adopted my son when he was a baby and he already is able to tell people how F.A.S.D. has affected him in a negative way and he is just 10. I hope by the time he is your age he is still speaking out against it and changing lives just like you!! Keep up the good work!

He asked the doctors for a new brain :( I can't imagine how frustrating that is, no one deserves a bad hand from the get-go.

Thanks, Ricky, for telling us your story! I hope you're making lots of progress with the DJing. You sound like you have a lot of great things to offer, and I bet your friends really appreciate you. It sounds like you now feel quite comfortable with the kind of support that you need to stay safe and make good choices, as you put it in the video. Was there ever any time when you didn't find it so easy to accept that kind of help and supervision? Wishing you all the best with your future! Anna

Thank you for sharing . . . your story is inspiring. I also live with a disability that is not generally recognized as such. It makes it difficult to get by. I wish the best for you.

Yes. My son has FAS and was born with high frequency hearing loss as well. He also has sleep problems and had to have surgery for obstructive sleep apnea which was also credited to the alcohol consumption while still a fetus.
