Who has to Change? Trying their hardest, doing their best!  What it is like to live with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder; written by Nathan E. Ory, M.A (2004).  While this article was written about children, Nathan Ory's clinical experience, as a registered psychologist with the Island Mental Health Team, is with adolescents and adults. He wrote this article to help others understand the roots of much of the behaviour seen in adults. We think it is particularly "to the point" in thinking about adult function. Just substitute the word "adult/s" for "child/ren" when reading!
