Few topics can divide people or make them so uncomfortable that they don’t talk about them. Sexuality is one of them. Given that inappropriate sexual behavior (ISB) is displayed by 45-52% of adults with FASD, and can present issues that split families up, this is a topic caregivers should pay as much attention to as other important life skills.
Jeff’s guest today is Pascal Gagné, the FASD Team Lead at Health Nexus (Ontario, Canada). He oversees the provincial FASD initiatives.
Pascal and Jeff talk about what research is available on this topic and how the trauma of FASD and root causes of behavior translate into vulnerability for individuals. They discuss how you can set your family up for success and give tips, ideas, and strategies to help guide individuals.
So much of FASD support are crisis-led. People don’t get the diagnosis they need, the support they need and there is stigma, so they don’t reach out. By mentioning sexuality in your everyday life, and making it part of your routine, just like talking about hygiene, mental health, employment, housing, etc. you plan.
I know this may have been an uncomfortable topic for many. I hope after listening to the podcast we have given you tools and ideas to help make it easier. There is also website suggestions you can access by visiting our Blog, listed in the Show Notes below, to help guide you.
