I also use organic brain damage or TBI to help others understand and accept that FASD is a physical condition - and that a lot of times what they see as willful behavior or poor choices have nothing to do with choice. I think you are right on track saying they have "lost" control as in they cannot find a way to control themselves right now or are "out of" control because they have a finite supply.

And I realized this was true, literally true, not in the way I'd originally meant it. My kid was out of control in the same way I am currently out of milk - it is gone. It's all used up. This boy has run out of control. He has a finite supply and it is just gone for now. If I don't like this, I need to be the one to change because right now he literally cannot help himself.Cayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395582315980440802noreply@blogger.com
