I haven't rally had to describe it much but i TEND TO describe physically what happened and most people at least partially understand but I got mine from a severe car accident which makes it easier to understand but my limitations may not be obvious.

I also noticed that you tried to post a web link with your message. You will be able to add URLs to your posts in a few days. There is a brief period where new members can't post links. We do this to deter spammers and keep the community safe. Clearly the link you wanted to post is not spam. Please allow me to post it for you.

From Ethan:
My friend Ted sent me this article. Very interesting. People think differently on a very basic level I think. even without a brain injury but even more so with one. https://ryanandrewlangdon.wordpress.com/2020/01/28/today-i-learned-that-not-everyone-has-an-internal-monologue-and-it-has-ruined-my-day/

Ethan, what resonated most with you in the article you shared?
