eyoo,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. You fiancee' needs to be seen by a doctor starting with a neurologist and then ask for a referral to a NeuroPsychologist. A physiatrist (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) may also be helpful. He needs serious diagnostic work. He should not be driving until this diagnostic work is completed with an understanding of his condition.

Your post is confusing. Was he unconscious for 2 days ? A concussion is a momentary impact that can have prolonged symptoms.

You may want to discuss getting a medical power of attorney so you can discuss his condition with doctors and arrange for his care and treatment. It does not sound like his parents are interested in this part of his life.

I would not be concerned about his emotional maturity. Instead you should be concerned about his ability to use good judgement to provide for you and your son and to avoid being in a car wreck and his overall neurological and mental health. Once these other issues are addressed, then you can work on his emotional maturity. His emotional maturity may make getting the other issues resolved difficult but they will relate to the root causes of his immaturity.

A neurological rehabilitation clinic or hospital may be a good start to find some answers. If there is a chance he was assaulted on the street, your state may have a victims assistance fund that can help get him diagnosed.

Please feel free to tell us more about his injury and diagnostics and such. We have very little information to use to help you.

My best to you.
