Sue,

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what I'd do about the driving thing. My boyfriend could support me some of the time in terms of rides, but not in others. I don't know what I'm going to do abou that.

I have already cut out aspartme, as it's bad for the brain in general. I'm working on clean eating now. I dont' seem to be effected by cell phones, as I used one frequently and have not seen a relation between the two.

Is there a way to get assistance somehow with not being able to drive that you know of?

I too am in Special Ed. My degree will be a master's in early intervention with a specialization in autism. I am also going to sit for my board certified behavior analyst exam when I finish school. My experience with TBI has resulted in me having a variety of sensory symptoms, which has defintely changed the way I practice with my kiddos!
