“I've worked with poor families and the homeless for 17 years, first in Boston and now in Washington D.C. I've worked with people, some of whom had extensive criminal records, that weren't diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome until well into their adult years. All of their lives they have been labeled difficult, lazy, and manipulative. I've worked with women who reacted in horror and disbelief when their child was diagnosed with FAS, saying 'But I didn't drink that much.'”
