Traumatic brain injury (TBI) refers to damage to the brain caused by an external physical force such as a car accident, a gunshot wound to the head, or a fall. ... It is possible to have a TBI and never lose consciousness. For example, someone with a penetrating gunshot wound to the head may not lose consciousness.

Does tbi affect your ability to spell and write clearly?
Apparently it does.

And .. TBI can also be caused by a sudden jerking of the neck, thrusting the head back and forth with extreme force. The brain is literally bounced back and forth in the brain cavity.
It actually causes bruising to the brain. The severity of the bruising can cause death.

If almost everyone has it, it’s not really a condition.

Thank you for posting. I’ll add it to my calendar since mention of this hidden wound is scarce.
Good site for info, please share other resources.

A worthwhile awareness day, as most don’t seem to know what it is or how it can change your life. Thanks!

While I am all in for combat veterans who have likely been subjected to brain injuries due to explosions and combat trauma being grouped together, I am worried about making a victim group that is so broad it envelops them and anonymizes them. I think they deserve special status.
Heck, I have have a few concussions, one time hitting a linoleum floor so hard that my head sounded like a bowling ball bouncing on it...I could be part of that group.

I didn’t know this. I have had students over the years with TBIs, including one this year, but I had no idea such an awareness day existed. Thanks for getting out the word!

Our veterans of the IED era are terribly afflicted by TBI. Someone told me that modern helmets actually amplify the percussive damage to brain tissue from being near explosions, whereas the old steel helmets did a better job of protecting the brain from shock waves...No idea if it’s true.
