Abstract
Background and Objective: The purpose of this paper is to examine the experience of parents raising children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the middle childhood stage of development. Furthermore, this research investigates parents’ formal and informal support needs as they adapt to the demands of raising their children.
 Material and Methods: 26 parents of children with FASD and ASD who reside in Ontario, Canada completed the Family Resource Scale, the Family Crisis Oriented Personal Scales, and participated in semi-structured interviews informed by the Family Adjustment and Adaptation Response (FAAR) model.
 Results: Using thematic analysis, three major themes were identified: (1) qualification for services and service availability; (2) formal supports and; (3) informal supports. The findings indicate that although there are services (e.g., respite care) available in Ontario, parents do not perceive there to be enough services to satisfy their family’s needs.
 Conclusion: This study demonstrates that supports need to be tailored to each child’s individual needs. ASD and FASD both occur on a spectrum, and available resources should reflect that diversity. Considerations and future directions for ASD and FASD related family research are discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
