She'll Tell You (I Can Too)

All of a sudden an autistic girl can tell you what's going on by typing it onto her computer. Umm...that's what this is, only I have brain injury not autism. Instead of all those behaviors I am opposite. I hardly move at all. My face has been expressionless. This last one finally seems to be changing.

Girl with autism types on computer.

Carly, that girl, is in Canada. She is conscious. People can freely ask her questions. The US has deemed me not conscious. This is a political move bad for science. Most are unaware that I am able to answer questions.

______________________________

The government has me listed as unconscious. Although my eyes are open, the vegetative state is also a coma. When I couldn't speak, it was easy to say that I was still vegetative. I really was in an eyes closed coma. I didn't do anything when I opened my eyes. Talking and writing come years later, although I had some vocalizing during the first year post bleed. I am well beyond time limits.

I do speak some. One could still say they don't understand me, so I must be mentally deficient because my bleed was so bad. However, these essays exist. They are very clear. They are very public. It's getting hard to say I am not conscious.

I wonder why it is difficult for the US government to admit that I am conscious now. I know that if they did, they can open themselves to lawsuits, but I thought that new discoveries can exempt this. I keep going back to the thought that maybe something that we don't know about happened in the Schiavo case. I thought the case was very public, but we don't know everything.

I think I found a back door for science. Everyone thinks I am in a coma. People who know me know that I am not. Yes I am disabled, but I am not in a coma.

I figure I can't go wrong if my situation is in the public eye. Open Science is the way to go. This is science, but everything is public access.

This man is from Elsevier magazine. They do on-line journal publishing. They are very transparent. This previous quote is from Twitter. Papers published by them are on-line. The journal Consciousness and Cognition may be the way to go https://www.elsevier.com/authors/journal-authors/submit-your-paper. [This journal is only suggested. It is not mandatory.]

Data for reports may be extrapolated from my blogs. Well over 300 essays are available to the public. A majority is in The Thoughtful Vegetable. I have a second blog for brain injury, Brain Injury Know How. I'm looking for writing analysis, NOT diagnosis. My current diagnosis is semi-vegetative. I believe this to be incorrect, but I will need viable reports.

I still have to work out details. If you have ideas, please message or email me. This also may not have to be done if a university picks up. Their work already is public.
 

The whole idea here is PUBLIC ACCESS. 

This makes my case accessible to all the other countries interested in my case without me moving there. Lay people may also participate. Private blogs may be self-published and even sent to me. You may get it shared.
