PCS Learner,

Your daughter's response is not unlike that of a PCS subject. There can be losses in the part of the brain than controls outbursts and helps maintain social functioning.

I need to remember that not all people are ready for what my mind wants to say. I have a TBI friend who is very literal with his responses. I have posted an anecdote that relates to his style.

My father, who suffered with dementia from lack of oxygen for over a decade before passing away, had lost almost all social caution.

I have learned to hold my responses but often they get stuck in my head needing an outlet for release. My wife is usually the victim. Her response will often be, "I'm glad you didn't say that in public."
