Living with FASD is an educational and human interest show for those living with the effects of prenatal exposure to alcohol, their loved ones, and anyone interested in learning more about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), brought to you by someone with both professional and living experience with FASD.
In this enlightening episode, we have the privilege of engaging with Jodee Kulp, an esteemed advocate in FASD circles with a wealth of knowledge and personal insight into FASD. Jodee brings to the conversation a profound understanding of the "normal" that comes with neurodiversity, sharing her family's journey through the lens of both a parent and an individual with FASD. We discuss the societal stigmas, the challenges of navigating the medical community, and the poignant reminder that embracing neurodiversity enriches our collective tapestry. Jodee was raised in a rural family, was exposed to alcohol prenatally and has wisdom in lived experience.
Since the diagnosis of her daughter in 1997, Jodee Kulp has been an advocate for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). She has authored and contributed to twelve books and curricula on FASD, helping thousands of families and professionals. Jodee is an internationally recognized speaker, trainer, and advocate, and has co-founded the International Red Shoes Rock and developed the Expanding Mindz with Canines Program. She has also led an all-season nature play developmental program for early childhood.
Jodee's current project is Embracing Zak, a novel and feature film to build FASD Awareness. Embracing Zak is designed to resonate with neurotypical and neurodivergent readers alike. The book aims to foster understanding and acceptance by presenting a vivid tapestry of characters whose differences are not just acknowledged but celebrated. With a mid-February release on the horizon, Embracing Zak is set to be a cornerstone in FASD literature, offering a narrative that challenges FASD stigma and promises laughter, tears, and a deep connection to its characters.
Listeners will also gain insights into the transformative role of service dogs in the lives of individuals with FASD. Jodee shares her expertise on how these remarkable animals can be trained to assist with medical alerts, provide emotional support, and enhance executive functioning. This episode is a testament to the power of understanding, the strength of community, and the potential for growth when we embrace the neurodiversity within us all.
