Hi @Persevere1

A warm welcome to the SANE forums. I am Whitehawk and I am moderating the forum this evening. It is great to see you reaching out about your son and ABI. I am sure you will find that the forum community members are supportive, helpful, friendly and warm.

If you want to tag a particular member so they get an individual message feel free to use the @tag as I have done above for you. If you need help with using the forum please reach out to the moderators or forum members. The guidelines are also there to help you make the most of the forum and to help post within the agreed parameters.

Again, it is great to have you aboard,

Whitehawk

Re: ABI

Hello @Persevere1

My husband has had attempt related trauma, fortunately not requiring amputation, but did have some complications that needed further surgery to correct. Mild ABI has been suggested, but he refused assessment, he has a bipolar ii working diagnosis.
