What Is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
7. Poor Judgement
Children generally need guidance from adults because they are prone to making decisions that are not beneficial to them or others. As they get older, however, they tend to get more responsible, but this is harder for some than others. Those with fetal alcohol syndrome will tend to have particularly poor judgment, and this can remain when they reach adulthood.
Patients with the condition can find it difficult to recognize potential consequences of their actions. They can also have considerable difficulty in solving problems and day to day reasoning. These symptoms can end up causing a lot of trouble for the patient as they get older.
