A Ripple: Emotions & Relationships following Brain Injury, Tourettes Syndrome & Neuro-Diversity
Acquired Brain Injuries (traumatic brain injuries, strokes, hypoxia, infections, life with/after a brain tumour), Tourettes Syndrome and Neuro-Diverse conditions often have a profound effect on social relationships, leaving the person with the condition in a constant state of distress and confusion, and often socially-isolated. Those connected to them in their social network (family, friends and work colleagues) can also feel upset and confused when things don’t work out in social interactions.
This process has been compared to a boulder being thrown into a lake, and the ripple that radiates out from the splash. The Boulder is the neurological damage/condition itself. The Ripple is impact on the minds and feelings of the survivor AND those connected to them.
