Most people can easily “put the brakes on” to stop themselves from behaviors, reactions and emotions that may seem rude and even offensive. Sometimes, though, we are not able to stop ourselves in time. For people with neurological differences, these faulty brakes – commonly called “Disinhibition” – may occur frequently and be distressing to the person and others around them. Disinhibition is an inconsistent ability to inhibit behaviors that are inappropriate for the situation.

- Recognizing signs, and
