having, you know, expectations that are not being met, all of that kind of stuff, and I feel helpless and what I know what to do about it because those consequences and lecturing and

You know, exerting our control in whatever way we can.

has no impact or very, very short term impact.

So then the question is, well what do you do differently?

Yeah.

So from my perspective it is.

And and what I and the reason why I say that is because I think there are a lot of approaches out there.

For other neurobehavioral conditions like ADHD that don't align with this neurobehavioral perspective that we're talking about today.

And so what I mean by that, and and I do work with um parents who are the biological parents of their child.

They're like, there's it was a healthy pregnancy, there was nothing, you know, that was happening there, and my child is still incredibly challenging, and my other kids aren't, and I have no idea why.

So the reason why I say that is because

With those parents, I don't do anything differently than with, say, a parent who has a confirmed diagnosis of FASD, because again, the brain is the brain.

And so what we look at is I have a screening tool that I walk them through once they're more familiar with this model.

And it what that allows us to do is say, okay, so the brain is connected to every single behavior.

Well, I get that.

And that's also really overwhelming.

And how do I know what my child struggles with, right?

How do I really get into the weeds of that?

And so it with the screening tool, it helps us understand what rises to the top for that child.

So are they really lagging behind in say executive functioning?
