What Is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
9. Difficulty Planning
It is quite common that we will need to make plans. This will often mean simple things such as getting ourselves ready for school or work, but even this can be difficult for people with fetal alcohol syndrome. They can find it difficult to know what needs to be done, and they can have difficulty following plans through.
Another thing that makes it difficult for them is that they tend to have a poor concept of time. Time can fly by without the patient realizing, potentially leaving them late. This can cause problems for the patient later in life if they have responsibilities like jobs to go to.
