People with FASD often struggle to learn from their past mistakes, no matter how significant the effects. This is part of being unable to transfer situational knowledge, a common problem when executive function pathways in the brain are damaged by prenatal alcohol exposure.
RJ Formanek is an adult with FASD who has dedicated many years to raising awareness of FASD using his own life experiences as examples. He explained this difficulty in a blog he called Burning with Fire.
He could not transfer what he had learned when he got burned by a fire into being burned with a hot element or being burned by boiling water which resulted in multiple burns.
RJ talks about every possible means of getting burned having to be learned separately as a completely new situation.
