title: Antisocial behaviour orders: the need to consider underlying neuropsychiatric disease.
abstract: Antisocial behaviour orders are legally constituted civil orders which aim to stop undesirable behaviour as part of United Kingdom government plans for crime reduction. They have been increasingly used since their introduction in 1999 and have attracted much media attention. The need to consider neurological illness as a possible cause of behaviour deemed anti-social is illustrated by a patient eventually diagnosed with neuroacanthocytosis.
