  7. Linking Behaviour to Brain Normal Developmental Process: Orderly, organized, sequential. Many opportunities for links and interconnections. FASD: Inconsistent growth, undergrowth, overgrowth, disorganized gaps and clusters. Clusters can appear as areas of tremendous strength, such as superior ability in art, music, spelling or writing.
