Alarming findings regarding the use of Fentanyl growing in parts of Europe with a high liklihood of severe teratogenic effects in babies. Different facial features to FAS, but a pattern is emerging about developmental disability. Reaffirms the need to explore prenatal exposures

Powerful insights from adults with #FASD - key messages are individuals want to be heard, understood, accepted and able to express their difficulties/ differences and diagnosis to obtain support - shared aims are independence, obtaining strategies for life to enable this ๐Ÿ‘

Excellent talk from Dr Alan Price "People say it's all about trauma. They are wrong." Being both pre and postnatally informed is key - #PPNA Raja Mukherjee MBE summed it up - "It's really important to have data to back this up." #EUFAD Penny Cook @kafyp SalfordFASD

Sadly, the data we see here on suicidality and #FASD mirrors that found by the Fetal Alcohol Advisory Support & Training Team Clinical pilot. Rates are significantly elevated in both children & adults, with some countries reporting half of adults with FASD having been suicidal at some point in life.
