Please retweet this many, many, many times. It's horrific.
@MarinaHyde is so right.
Why isn't this is a huge scandal?

5 years ago, on Boxing Day, Alan Jessop crashed to the floor unconscious. He had encephalitis. Now he has no short term memory and forgets Christmas as soon as it happened

Just heard @BooksCanHelp talk about the @encephalitis - as a survivor I’m thankful of how few long term effects I have. Encephalitis hides in the shadows and leaves all those it touches with invisible scars. Please give to this necessary and essential charity work.

Many friends will not know what a brain injury is and how it can affect someone, and therefore may not be able to understand how and why their friend has changed.
