I see you're a newbie. Welcome to NT!
Whenever possible, I avoid flying since my TBI. Among other things, I'm always worried that I might have a meltdown during the invasive security. I can be slow answering questions, and I can see the cop wannabes getting anxious.
Does your provincial chapter on the Brain Injury Association issue TBI patient identity cards for your wallet?
I doubt I could whip mine out, before they taser me. I'm thinking of having "out of order" tattooed across my forehead.
