This presentation features Dr. Clare Mitchell exploring the similarities and differences between Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The discussion highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary assessment to ensure children receive the correct supports rather than a diagnosis based on diagnostic bias. The webinar emphasizes that while these conditions are lifelong, understanding a child’s specific neuro-cognitive profile allows for more effective, individualized treatment and intervention.
