"Acquired brain injuries (often referred to as ABI) usually occur after accidents or illnesses. They can cause difficulties similar to those associated with neurominorities such as dyslexia or ADHD. However, not all brain regions are affected, and areas such as verbal or visual abilities, good memory, strong work ethic and practical skills may be enhanced, or honed during rehabilitation."
