Ho Louann and welcome.
Disinhibition (including the foul language usage you describe) is not uncommon with TBI/PCS survivors. Before answering further it would be helpful to know when and the severity of his injury, and what treatment he is or has received. Sounds like a consult with a neurologist or clinical neuropsychologist familiar with TBI is in order if he has not yet seen one.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition. Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life. |
