[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 252246, member: 1991"] I wouldn't say that. First, is it brain damage? Or simply different brain wiring? I think the jury is still out. As for not being curable, I'm with you on that. But a lot can be done, often much more than you would perhaps think. Even if someone has brain injury, the brain is amazing in how it can heal and adapt. The important thing is to keep on providing stimulation, to exercise the brain and make it work. We've done the same thing with our autistic kids - we make them work at the things they need to, but we have to be careful to not overwhelm them. It's like walking a tightrope. But what we've observed - our kids have adapted well, the autism is far less obvious. Marg [/QUOTE]
