If you're interested, there's a very good book by sociologist Amanda Gengler called Save My Kid, and she looks at how parental advocacy works in hospital settings for parents with critically ill kids. I think you'll find it pretty validating.

My mom has a similar brain injury! Her brain raddled when a museum display fell on her about 20 years ago, so the damage was global. Do you experience any emotional dysphoria? She was in a study about how people with TBIs can have the wrong emotional signals sent to their brain in the presence of stimuli.

Yes! Thank you, it's fairly new so I think it's called different things in different circles.

It's a pretty unique story, feel free to pm if you think you do. She got her head injury at 28 so not totally different from you if you'd like to swap notes.

What advice do you have for someone who might be looking to get into this type of work in the future?
