The subject of Traumatic Brain Injury is back in the news after the accident suffered by top snowboarder Kevin Pearce. Some timely new research has revealed some of the personality changes that can occur after a TBI, including profound problems in the ability to process emotions.
Cheerleading Is Dangerous Sport With Head & Spinal Injuries
When I hear of serious injuries to young athletes like Kevin,it makes me think about those athletes who are not even considered real athletes by many -- CHEERLEADERS. Pearce's brain injury was caused when he did a back flip (even though he had on a helmet). Many sports are dangerous, but most folks don't realize the serious risks for cheerleaders -- the most dangerous sport for females in highschool and college. Cheerleaders do back flips too and without helmets. Afterall, they're suppose to look pretty while putting themselves at risk for dangerous injury. Is our compassion gender-specific? Cheer leaders have suffered many head and spinal injuries. Ethic Soup blog has a couple of excellent resources for cheeleaders and their parents at:

It is almost like Aspergers?
It is almost like Aspergers? How do you fix it? It gets you in real trouble. The thing is after the TBI people walk around like this not knowing what they are doing wrong. I insult people and hurt their feelings. I can't tell if they are mad? Sometimes they are so mad and I don't notice. I just stay away now.
