Episode 182: FASD in Adulthood: What Happens After Diagnosis? A Future Shaped by What Works, Not What’s Expected
What happens after the diagnosis?
In this episode of The FASD Success Show, Jeff Noble sits down with Joseph Munn, an adult with FASD who’s building a life that works, not one that’s defined by expectations.
Joseph opens up about what it felt like to finally understand his brain, how interdependence and technology help him stay regulated, and what community really means in adulthood. From gaming and advocacy to the one-dollar house that changed his life, Joseph’s story reminds us that success isn’t about doing it all, it’s about doing what works.
You’ll hear
• What finally made sense after Joseph’s FASD diagnosis
• How he manages overwhelm, anxiety, and independence
• Why interdependence, not isolation, builds true stability
• How gaming, technology, and VR became tools for connection
• What parents can take away about hope, adaptation, and acceptance
Why It Matters
This episode is a real look at life after diagnosis, the challenges, the wins, and the ongoing process of building a future shaped by possibility, not perfection.
