I couldn't tell you. Somebody far more professional than I would have accurate numbers, but anecdotally from working with the groups and reviewing this, there are some courts and some judges that are very alive to this and familiar with it. A lot of them tend to be in local areas that see that revolving door, repetitive client where they're able to identify and recognize FASD. Some have obviously educated themselves and trained well in this. Some of that comes from the FASD support community, helping judges understand. When you consider the prevalence in the Canadian institutions, it would be clear that more often than not we're not even recognizing from a diagnostic standpoint that people have FASD to use judicial discretion in the first place.
