The nose knows!
Some people with FASD are super sensitive to smells.
Different scents can also be very calming.
Some people like gentle smells like lavender.
Or familiar smells like a favourite pet or laundry detergent.
Sometimes people like stronger smells that others might not understand, like manure on a farm.
It’s fun to experiment to see what smells help you.
Fun to try at home
Cover your eyes and see which spices smell the best.
