Informazioni sull'autore

Liz Kulp was diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and static encephalopathy as a young teen. Knowing her challenges and understanding her strengths helped her graduate from public high school and strive to move on to a struggling independent adulthood. And just when life seemed to even out in mental health, her physical health tumbled her into a new existence. Liz unashamedly lets readers inside the world of adulthood of a person with FASD.
