Thank you Anthony. One thing to think about is Hollywood. This is very similar to my other impairments. The basics behind the imaging issue is see-think-feel.
They see you have an impairment.
They think they know something about it, then judge you based on those thoughts, no matter how inaccurate.
Then they express feelings based on the previous two, again no matter the inaccuracy.

Let me try to use PTSD as an example. Now before I start, I have discussed this with others in the past, and most of the time they are thankful for the enlightenment, and rarely are they more fearful.

1. Someone sees you have a problem. They find out it's PTSD.
2. They think about this, even though a mere millisecond, and unless they are professionally schooled or have first-hand experience with it, odds are they will recall the images they got from society's most vocal source of info on such ailments- Hollywood.
3. Recalling the images gained via Hollywood, violence, victimization, crime, pain, horror, they begin to "feel" fearful.
4. Odds are nothing has even happened in real life between the PTSD victim (like you or I) and the person now fearful.

Ignorance is clearly the worst issue here. And sadly enough, I found this problem exists with PTSD as much as with Traumatic Brain Injury. So Anthony, if I have misjudged PTSD by this comparison, it's not intentional. Instead only what I have gathered from my experience with both TBI and PTSD.

I know if my physical health was better than it is now I would be more capable of writing this out better.
