OverviewThis book shouldn't exist. No, seriously. It's not because the world doesn't need it. Somebody had to write it. I decided that somebody should be me. My name is Rossino Griffin, but please call me Rossi. I am 22 years old, and I have FASD. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder affects at least 4% of young people in the UK. It's linked to over 420 different conditions, from ADHD to hypermobility to epilepsy. Sure, there are all sorts of statistics and scientific studies about FASD, but what's it actually like? Join Rossi as he guides you through his life with FASD. Through make-up, mayhem, and marbles (found, lost, and swallowed!), Rossi and his mum share their experiences and insights, and offer ways for other young people living with FASD to find their own Brilliant.
