Thank you. I introduced myself as a developmental pediatrician. Developmental pediatricians are trained to look at neurodevelopmental disorders, and in fact in very young children and infants we can see some of the early signs of affect dysregulation. That is one difference between the professional distinctions. Psychiatrists predominantly look at mental health disorders. As developmental pediatricians, we look at neurodevelopmental disabilities such as brain injury and acquired brain injury. FASD is an acquired brain injury. We just didn't see the accident because it happened in utero.
