The book examines the case of Nikolas Cruz, the school shooter diagnosed with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), including: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eThe nature of FASD, how it was measured, and how it manifested in Cruz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eThe impact of FASD on Cruz’s adaptive functioning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eThe concept of “psychiatric overshadowing” and how it led to the oversight of Cruz’s FASD and associated brain damage by many mental health experts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eThe broader implications of FASD, with a recommendation to expand death penalty exemptions to include disorders equivalent to intellectual disabilities (ID).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy focusing on the highly controversial Cruz case, the authors—key experts from the trial—offer insights into FASD and its often-overlooked role in determining criminal responsibility and sentencing.
