Visiting expert on Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder says sufferers have 60 percent chance of becoming involved in criminal activity
People who suffer from Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder have a high risk of becoming involved in criminal behaviour, according to a visiting expert in the field.
Dr Natalie Novick-Brown from Washington University, is speaking in Auckland today on the link between drinking during pregnancy and criminal activity.
Some people have believed for many years that many conditions, such as severe learning disorders and ADHD could be the result of foetal alcohol disorder. Now they are speaking about it in public, not behind closed doors.
The international forensic psychology expert says pre-natal alcohol exposure can damage the central nervous system and 60 percent of those with FASD will be arrested at least once, by the time they are a young adult.
Sufferers have problems with cognition and learning, memory and language skills and particularly with social skills, judgement, decision-making and impulse control.
Dr Novick-Brown believes early detection and treatment will help change these behaviour deficits
