[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 142624, member: 84"] That article hit it right on the mark. Issues I've been dealing with for 22 yrs almost. And now again that I've also had a brain injury a few years back. Mine made even myself see Travis in a whole new way. Not that I didn't understand the aspects of the brain damage, his dxes and such before. But I dunno. I mean, for almost 2 yrs after the accident I wasn't the "same" person I was before. Congnitive issues, memory issues, emotionally I had trouble connecting for a while, and even just ordinary day to day stuff would just whiz right over my head. easy child comments alot on it now, but at the time she didn't know what it was, just knew something wasn't right with Mom. Heck, 5 yrs after the accident and often some things just whiz over my head. I still have days when memory is a major problem, or comprehension is a challenge. Yet other days I seem to be myself again and like the injury never happened. Even after living with Travis their whole lives, I often have to remind immediate family members of things he just isn't capable of doing or doing well. DDD this is the biggest reason I've been dragging my feet on attempting disability for Travis. He needs it, has the dxes to get it. But can present himself for short periods as fairly "normal" especially to an untrained eye. I'll keep fingers crossed and say a prayer it comes thru for you. [/QUOTE]
