  • @theredmars nOTHING RUDE, BUT sometimes it's not apparent, when looking at someone. There are people not visibly affected, much, on the outside view, but...There are SO many things an injured brain can result in, because it controls everything. Some people learn to cope, & it's not apparent, sometimes.
