Over looked
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Awareness Day held annually on the ninth day of the ninth month. This was created about 30 years after a general surgeon started issuing warnings about this disorder. Many times it is over looked due to the many different disorders that can be obtained during pregnancy. Even though there are many different every point on a happy and healthy pregnancy the CDC and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists say no amount of alcohol can be considered safe for consumption during pregnancy.
-Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Awareness Day is a day that I personally was not aware of; so I defiantly feel it is an over looked disorder.

I also didn't know that there was a FASD awareness day, and I certainly agree that this is overlooked by society. I feel that it should be out there more, to promote healthy life choices for mothers that may or may not know the effects of alcohol on their unborn children.
