Well, I'll be damned, you're right, Jonah et al are referenced in Sybil towards the end! Totally forgot that (but then, our mind has mostly purged all memory of that book--more than y'all's, apparently).
And you're right, James did write up Anna Winsor/Old Stump. I'd like to read up on them more, just... so much to do, so little time, heh.
I mean, I dunno that it counts as a TBI, but we gave ourselves a heck of a concussion sometime in middle school... and huh, come to think of it, that was around the time we went plural. (Probably a little later, though, not that we can know for sure.) We didn't get treatment for it either, we didn't realize until adulthood that concussions are apparently kind of a big deal?
Oh man, the toxin case for the hysterical blind/deaf/paralysis would explain a lot, I was always kinda perplexed by that, since it was written as so common, especially in the early cases, but not quite so much now? (I mean, we got some probably-psychosomatic mobility impairment and leg weakness during the homeless year... but the stress level was INTENSE. Thankfully that hasn't been a thing for us the past few years, it SUUUUUCKED.)
