The Adoption and Fostering Podcast
Kids & Family:Parenting
Welcome to Episode 2 of ‘What’s da Craic’ with Maggie, Rob and Scott.
In this episode Maggie and Rob have a chat with Scott’s son Jacob about living with FASD. They discuss a range of experiences including sensory issues, school, pain thresholds, driving theory and the conversation soon digresses into a more general conversation about sport and the future, with a lengthy conversation about Rugby. It included some terminology that those interested in rugby will know, however, those who may not will definitely gain an insight from someone living with FASD taking part in sport and other activities.
Rob identifies some of the areas in Jacob and Maggie’s life that he has recognised as different to his own experiences, including specific hobbies and tasks that become obsessions in life, and Maggie hears more than she bargained for about sport!
For those who may not be familiar with some of the terms used:
Banjaxed – meaning ruined, incapacitated or broken
SNA – Special Needs Assistant (in School)
Whilst “FASD – What’s da Craic?” is predominantly an Irish take on FASD, we try to make our language and experiences accessible to everyone. We have a mix of accents in there – something for all!
We welcome you to get in touch whether you have a question or would like to be a guest, you can search FASD Ireland across all social media platforms and DM us or email us: office@fasdireland.ie
