hb1125,

Hopefully, if you can avoid other concussions, your condition should be stable. I have lived with PCS for 40 years.

I also am not afraid to tell people. A concussion or series of concussions is a brain injury. Anybody who discounts the damage from a few concussions is just uninformed.

Practice your explanation. Something like:

" I suffered a brain injury and it makes it so I sometimes struggle to find words or process more complex thoughts. If I take my time, I can do much better. "

If you are concerned about your future, learning how to educate people will be a big help.

If you can further understand the medical terms or even just more descriptive layman's terms for your struggles, that can help the others accept your explanation.

"I have word finding struggles called anomic aphasia"

If you tell us more about your struggles, we can tell you how to define those struggles.

My best to you.
