We had a very difficult time getting a diagnosis for FASD.It took 11 years to finally have it in writing despite having proof in his Adoption/Birth Records. I hope this Respect Act is Passed and more can be done to change State Laws how persons with FASD are treated if they get in trouble and put in Jail. The Competency Laws also need to be changed to include persons with Mental Disorders that Competency Restoration Treatment won’t help. Its very traumatizing for persons with FASD to be treated as a Criminal when they have No Concept of Court Proceedings and Consequences.
