> I am now below average intelligence

The very fact you were able to write this post in such an articulate way already puts you ahead of 90% of the population. Have you seen how people write? I've been managing teams and projects in the last 18 years and I can promise you that written communication skills, along with patience to use them, are as important as coding skills, if not more important.

"Intelligence" per se is overrated. Work performance comes from a mix of intelligence, patience, communication skills and persistence. In real life, documentation and traceability (from well commented tickets) are as important as lines of code.

I hope you recover soon to full capacity. Just wanted to let you know that I'm not used to such fluent writing, neither from 17 year old people nor from the average colleague at software companies. You have that on your side.

Furthermore, please sue the idiots if you can.

Wish you a fast recovery!

Thank you. My ability to write doesn't seem to have been affected by the concussion (different part of the brain?) and it's nice to have at least one thing I'm still good at.
