One of the subjects I’ll be talking about during my ICMI speech is Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. It’s long been the #1 cause of avoidable permanent mental health damage in the Western world, but of course women aren’t held accountable for it. A very interesting article by Cheryl McQuire of the University of Bristol, published in 2018, is here. An extract:

Consistent with our findings, international studies suggest that FASD is the leading cause of developmental disability worldwide. Studies from the US, Canada, Italy, Poland and Croatia estimate that 1-10% of school children are affected. In South Africa, up to 28% of children could be affected.
