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.
Rip he died at 27 of heart attack in 2016. The average lifespan of people with severe FASD is 34 years.
Listening to Stephen's story makes me realize I am not alone:)
I am quietly devastated by your early passing. Thank you for being brave and sharing your story. I should've said that sooner. Rest in peace
💔. 🙏🙏🙏🕯️💜🌹
May I ask what happened to him, please?
Remarkable and articulate person! Thank you so much for sharing your story...it means more than you could know. RIP ♥️
Bless you for sharing your story.
That's a beautiful positive insight to the experiences of FASD... I can relate a fair bit to how the FASD effects you... :) thanks for your story
What's odd, is I find almost all of your symptoms are exactly the same as people with A.D.D.
