125. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Effect do have
this effect on people - these people literally have no conscience. They also cannot comprehend or care about the consequences of their actions. It is virtually impossible to come up with any punishment for a child with one of these conditions, because they do not make the connection between the punishment, and what they did. Positive reinforcement also has little effect, because the child will not make the connection.

They are some of the most self centered and self serving people in the world. Ask me how I know? I adopted one. The damage done by these tragically injured children is unbelievable, and no matter how much you explain, reason, punish, contract with them, positively reinforce good behavior - no matter what you do, they will NOT change. They also have great difficulty with empathy, and many suffer from RAD, where they cannot bond with anyone.

If this is the truth about Bush, it would make a great deal of sense.
