Episode 14: Understanding FASD — What Alcohol Does to the Developing Brain
This episode explores the neuroscience behind FASD — what alcohol actually does to a developing brain and why the timing of exposure matters so much. Understanding which brain regions are affected, and when, helps make sense of the daily challenges caregivers observe — the dysregulation, the memory difficulties, the impulsivity. These are not behavioural choices. They are neurological differences established before birth.
