I'm not sure what you are talking about. I would guess that other people who might help you also do not know what those terms mean that you mention. Could you give us more details?
Thanks,

I found the following on the web:
Treatment
A person with suspected ARBI needs to be assessed by a neuropsychologist. Treatment depends on the individual and the type of brain damage sustained.

Helping people with ARBI
People with impaired brain function can be helped if the demands placed on them are reduced. A predictable routine, which covers all daily activities, can also be a great help.

Carers might like to consider the following points when communicating with people with ARBI:
Break down information and present one idea at a time
Tackle one problem at a time
Allow the person time to work at their own pace
Minimise distractions
Avoid stress
Allow for frequent breaks and rest periods.


I have learned that I function best when I do these things. I probably have a lot of brain damage from alcohol from my many years of drinking. I find that I can function at most things, but I need to take it easy and get organized.
