Debunking FASD Myths: A Conversation with Louise Gray

Alcohol exposure while in the womb may cause Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, or FASD, in the unborn child. It is more common than many people realise.
What do you really know about alcohol and pregnancy? In this eye-opening episode of 'Pregnancy and Alcohol: The Surprising Reality', host Kurt Lewis sits down with Louise Gray, the CEO of NOFASD Australia, to tackle some persistent myths about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Gray dives into the often overlooked but crucial topic of prenatal alcohol exposure and its long-term effects on children.
She sheds light on how common FASD actually is and the critical role NOFASD Australia plays in raising awareness and supporting affected families. The conversation also navigates through the societal stigma and misconceptions surrounding alcohol consumption during pregnancy, highlighting the importance of non-alcoholic options for expectant mothers. By the end of the episode, listeners will have a better understanding of why it's vital to avoid alcohol during pregnancy and how language can impact those living with FASD.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to grasp the realities of FASD and contribute to a more informed and supportive community.
