Thank you for addressing this important aspect of delayed diagnosis and lack of treatment and how that affects social outcomes for people with FASD.

Our Adult Son was born with Prenatal.Alcohol Exposure. We had a very difficult time getting a diagnosis for FASD.It took 11 years to finally have it in writing despite having proof in his Adoption/Birth Records. I hope this Respect Act is Passed and more can be done to change State Laws how persons with FASD are treated if they get in trouble and put in Jail. The Competency Laws also need to be changed to include persons with Mental Disorders that Competency Restoration Treatment won’t help. Its very traumatizing for persons with FASD to be treated as a Criminal when they have No Concept of Court Proceedings and Consequences.

Sister Suzette, As a parent of a now adult son with FASD, I also have had the good fortune of learning from your work and advice at National Meetings with the former FASD Center for Excellence. Thank you for your tireless efforts and may you find joy in your well deserved retirement.

This is a huge public health crisis in out country and has been overlooked for many years. The largest problem is a genenral lack of awareness of what is FASD and how it impacts those affected throughout their entire life span. It is grossly un or misdiagnosed and this segment of the population and their care givers desperately need our help. They are innocent victims of circumstance and are misunderstood due to the nature of an invisible disability. We can do better and we must do better

I am a grandparent raising my grandson who has been diagnosed with FASD as well as other disabilities. I live in Colorado and thankfully last year learned very much about how to parent a child with FASD from FASCETS an organization in Oregon. We all are constantly looking for help and support .
