What would you do if you had a brain injury that affected your communication?

What would you do if you had a bad accident that caused trama to the brain that made it so you can't talk, write, etc, but you can understand what's going on around you?

That'd be terrible.

I had a stroke when I was a baby due to a clot in my brain. I'm very blessed to have made a full recovery from that. I can't imagine if it'd have turned out differently. I'm blessed to have had it happen when I was 11 days old so the rest of my brain could pick up the slack of the part that was destroyed by the clot (one quarter of my brain is smaller than the other ones). I don't know what I'd do if it had turned out differently.

Can I still use body language and nonverbal communication? Such as smiling, nodding, etc. Could I possibly learn sign language?

[JamielovesKU]

Yes but talking and writing are not possible

[snowangle]

Then that'd be fine! Communication without words is totally possible and actually more effective, usually.

[JamielovesKU]

Never thought of it that Way

Obviously I'd express myself through dance and dance alone...

Ok joking aside I'd find a way I don't know how exactly but I'd still find a way to communicate with people I mean Steven Hawkins found a way I could to.

In conversations or everyday life for me I have social anxiety so really I can't talk to people... heck I don't even truly understand many things to do with emotions, social groups or social etiquette.

Go to a speech pathologist.

Try and create a system to communicate.
