the long term prognosis for me was that I would not make any significant improvement enough for me to return to my normal work. This is not to say in the long term I will not continue to make progress.

I was given little chance of finding employment and virtually nil prospects of being able to sustain (stay in) employment.

I have been working since September but struggle a lot. I have support and the staff are aware of my quirks. It is only a temporary contract tho. I have been 'spoken to' by the boss this month due to me 'pulling faces' when asked to do some tasks. Apparently it gives the impression that i dont want to do the jobs, but i have no idea when or what ive done and to whom. This i can see may affect my future employment. Also i have little to no concept of passing time so i have a poor time keeping record.

Soft tissue injuries respond well to physio most times. Its anythig from whiplash to ruptured discs, strained muscles to torn ligaments. It is not usual for them to take a long time to heal ( unless its discs that are damaged) so it could be refering to the injuries you sustained at the time of the accident.
