Is it spoonerism ?........or dyslexia ?

[Drusilla]

No ...I remember someone posting a blog or a question about it on this site and I remember crying my eyes out because this one effect of my brain injury has a name....and its not just marked down as 'part of your brain injury' ...I dont know why I was so pleased ,only that I get tired of telling everyone that I have a brain injury...and even more tired of every time I explain my brain injury I am almost always told how lucky I am to be here because the other person knows at least two people that have died as a result....I complain that my injury is an invisible one when a lot of the time it suits me because I dont get treated differently..but then there I times I feel to shave my head and say " THERE CAN YOU SEE IT NOW ...?" Moan moan moan....clearly its going to be one of those days...Hope yours is a better one Cat3.

Hi Drusilla I know where yer coming from, I have shaved my head for many years and therefore don't look any different to other people. But to explain my injury, I have to point out my craniotomy scar to which then I get the cor blimey your lucky? Lucky would have been never to have had this in the first place. Sorry but I don't call living this different life very lucky. Still on the plus side biking season coming up. Take care XXXXX

Just been on Google & Wikipedia trying to find this word.......no luck.....sorry Drusilla.

It's become a bit of a mission now so, if you find it, maybe you could let us know ?

[Drusilla]

Dysphasia or Dysarthria?

[fuzzyhead]

if you still can't find it, I saw it on House once. Try reading through the episode synopses on Wikipedia. I'd do it myself but I'm going to a friends for dinner and need to get ready

[Drusilla]

I will, enjoy your meal.....thank you .

dyspraxia ? ?

[pollyanne]

Could it be -

Brocas aphasia (expressive aphasia-thinking of something but say the wrong thing) and Wernickes aphasia ( where you struggle to interpret speech but you can speak fine yourself)

Sounds like a pub quiz!!

[leeleeleelee]

is it called toungetwistedeitious or may be its whatavijustsaidivissum

good luck with that
