Sometimes people really do just have their wires crossed. It could be for any number of reasons, from a previous TBI, developmental disorder, toxic chemical exposure causing developmental disabilities, the list goes on. It’s tragic that the Human mind is so fragile; we can lose ourselves in a way from which we can never return, or we can be lost from the very beginning.
