Recognition of FASD-type behaviours may raise your suspicion. A person with FASD does not commit crimes of his own volition. Brain damage prevents accurate processing of data, along the path from receiving data to acting on it.

Court orders for assessment and professional assistance for the FASD affected person prior to or in place of incarceration may keep the person from re-offending once support systems are in place.

Adapting the law office and court room to decrease distractions and stimuli increases your chances of more reliable communication.
