I don't like to put it this way, but I will. We are brain injury survivors. We are acquired brain injury survivors. Some of us, including myself, are also traumatic brain injury survivors. And head trauma survivors. The reason I don't like to put it that way, is that we are people first, then our disability. We aren't defined by our disability. It is just a part of who we are. But we are almost universally referred to as brain injury survivors, and sometimes even brain injury victims. Even worse, one can still read or hear "brain damaged "people. Ugh. Well, that's how it goes. But, for myself, I'm a person who happens to have had an acquired brain injury. Moreover, I'm a survivor of acquired brain injury. Hence, I'm a SABI. But some people don't like that either. They wish to be known as winners or thrivers, or whatever. For me, it's SABI. That about says it. I lived through something. I endured. That is a good enough characterization for me.
