About FASD
Prenatal alcohol exposure leads to FASD, a lifelong condition impacting cognition, behaviour, and adaptive functioning. Individuals with FASD are up to 19 times more likely to encounter justice systems due to traits like impulsivity, poor memory, suggestibility, and difficulty understanding consequences – not inherent criminality, but neurodevelopmental vulnerabilities.
