THE ORIGINS OF MY DISABILITY ARE PROBABLY FROM MY BEING STRUCK IN THE HEAD AND PULLED OFF MY FEET BY MY HAIR AND THROWN DOWN BY MY MOTHER UNTIL I WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD.

Postscript: I saw a report which indicated that a neurological syndrome caused symptoms similar to the ones I experience. It could have been caused by the injuries and suppression and domination which I experienced as a child.   AT AGE SEVENTEEN I WAS STRUCK ON MY HARDHAT BY A HAMMER DROPPED OFF A BRIDGE WHICH CAUSED FATIGUE AND MADE ME SUSCEPTIBLE TO GOING INTO A CONVULSION. I NEVER RECOVERED BUT I ADAPTED AND I MANAGED TO KEEP ON WORKING AND GOING TO UNIVERSITY.

.

I WAS DRIVING A TINY MOTORCYCLE IN 1967. A LEFT TURNING CAR CRASHED INTO ME THROWING ME OFF MY MY BIKE ONTO MY HELMETED HEAD BUT I STILL ENDED UP VIRTUALLY PARALYZED FOR MANY MONTHS. I DID NOT GET MY OUT OF WORK INSURANCE FOR THE FIRST OF TWO TIMES I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT. I HAD A HEAD INJURY AGAIN.

I RECOVERED ENOUGH TO GO BACK TO WORK AGAIN IN 1969.
