This book is certainly a call to look at how we assess adults with substance use disorders and what are we doing to identify if they have fetal effect syndrome or maybe some of the reasons that they just don't get it is because they just don't get it right and they can't get it, or because they're antisocial.
Imagine facing life with a condition that was entirely preventable. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', Mary Woods sits down with Dr. Norgaard to discuss the often-overlooked issue of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). Dr. Norgaard, an expert in psychodrama and an advocate for early detection and prevention of FASD, sheds light on the challenges in identifying this condition and its connection to substance use disorders.
Her extensive work with political refugees and insights from her son's experiences in the prison system add depth to the conversation. The episode also touches on societal views on punishment and the death penalty, making it a multifaceted discussion. One key takeaway is the importance of compassion when dealing with FASD. Dr. Norgaard's book, 'Hard to Place: A Crime of Alcohol', serves as a poignant reminder to assess adults with substance use disorders for fetal effects.
This episode is a compelling listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of FASD and how to better support those affected.
