Hi,@tinkherbal, I am glad to meet you here! I had a head injury some years ago. I was numb on my right side for three days. I think the doctor who saw me in the ER was about twelve years old. He insisted that I did not have a concussion. Or any lasting damage. But I beg to differ. I went later to a very well respected chiropractor who took x-rays. The vertebra in my neck and upper back were bent out of shape. It was as if I had been hit in the head with a two by four. I still carry a lot of pain and tension in that area.I get an hour long massage done once a month. I also get my nails done once a month, where we get to sit in a massage chair. Self care is very important to me. If we don't take proper care of ourselves, we cannot have the strength to help someone else.
I hope you will stop by soon and have another "chat." I would really like to compare our experiences. One thing I have noticed is that I have to read new information several times before I feel I truly comprehend it. I also get dates and times mixed up easily. For this reason, I make sure I post important dates in several places, so that I don't forget. Hope we get to "talk" again soon!

sorry @tinkherbal for not getting back to you . I am a teacher and also senior hospital scientist and last week at The westmead children's hospital Sydney aust I work at in oncology hematology we lost 3 little patients and had a massive argument with my managers and melted down and only just surfaced from it .crashing and burning .with atistics routine is the key and often in childhood we develop a particular habit or patter like lining up our dolls in order or soldiers or bears amnd often in stressful times .this brings us comfort and retreat to deal withwhat is overwhelming usand the frustrations from not being able to express ourselves or be heard . interms of brain injury I would say its a combo of things the loss ofrational limiters like autitics or anyone whom is neurodiverse so we can explode out of no where and it surprises a lot of people .the inhibiting factors of the injury and short term memeory loss and telling our brains to do something and we cant or we try to read stuff asinmamacita and we have to read it several times . the fact that people aren't willing to patient calm and kind and compassionate and exopect us to react and respond

CAN I ALSO add to advise that we stim which is moving our hands and body or we rock and we ultra focused to also calm ourselves and then we scream and verbalize and burst out yelling and continue to on and on until we get all our frustrations
