even if it just satisfies your curiosity.

my youngest has this, on top of a bunch of other strange happenings in her brain and mind. imho, most of it ties back to a head injury as a little bit. the subsequent undiagnosed epilepsy was also damaging in a lot of ways.
she had hallucinations that got her tagged as paranoid. sleep troubles that caused depression.
a very tangled brain.
