Im getting anxiety jsut thinking about him walking in the hallway in between classes. There is so much stimulation in a school setting and need for concentration. I cant imagine he is comfortable for those 4 hours and it is a sign that his brain just cant handle it.

I have a close friend who was a senior in high school and was pulled out for 5 months due to her concussion. It was too dangerous for her to be there with the amount of stimuli and need for attention, concentration, planning, etc. These executive functions were not ready for that type of environment. She did graduate, but will be taking a year off before attending college because she wants to be fully recovered before attempting to learn anything new.

Im wishing you the best of luck. Praying that his symptoms lessen and that his anger and impulse control return soon to the old him.
Yes, the front right side. We really are starting to think that taking him out of school may be what is needed for him to heal. You are right, all of the stimulation that is associated with school is just too much, and I believe every day works kind of like a set back to his brain.

I very much appreciate your kind words and thougts/prayers.
