  • My son has this. He was diagnosed when he was 15 years old. By not being diagnosed sooner and by us not really understanding what this meant;he missed out on early intervention that I believe,(no documented proof or evidence proven through research that I am aware of) would have been extremely beneficial to him; therapy similar to that provided now to autistic kids.

    I'm proud of these kids for their continued efforts to function in a world that is to them, mysterious in many ways.

    GO TONY!!

  • @Aquarya The brain is like a 1995 Ford Thunderbird. It over compensates; It has many redundant systems. The human brain is no different. There are other bundle of nerve fibers in the brain that will compensate, a detour, may be annoying but will still get the job done. Agensis of the corpus callosum is an amazing natural phenomenon that only a very lucky select few ever get to experience. I am glad I have the disorder. I finally have something to exploit other then a pretty face ;)

  • maybe he could talk to himself to relay some of the info

  • Hi Ms. Branham!

  • They should have interviewed both of him, surely it feels horrible to be the half-brain that cannot speak when asked a question. they should let the one of him that can't speak write (or however) to give the "other him" a chance to express it's opinions...

    The discussions about "his" behavior aren't clear - which him? The left or the right?

  • @DEARMINTA What about the other one of you?

  • This is a great clip. I've been looking for good media that could illustrate split brain to my community college students. Thank you.

  • If you change the face on the young man, he's my son. Even the mannerisms are alike. He was diagnosed when he was 10.

  • What? My 10 year old little boy loves showers... a problem with Psychology is it is so general and based on such narrow stats...

  • @Varmyth the brain is so plastic and so to answer yoru question, yes.
