so Season 1, The Mind, is when Logan gets Mind Controlled, and it causes brain damage. he actually gets lucky and avoids total brain failure (like the majority of Mind Controlled cult members did, due to how long they were under), but the left hemisphere of his brain still sustains damage, impacting the language center and giving him Wernicke's Aphasia.

(highly recommend you watch the video below too; it's a good example of someone with it, and i really like some of the observations/insights in the comments.)

he will be able to make significant progress with his aphasia (and that's a realistic thing to depict; it's just not going to ever go away entirely, since most people will always have remnants of their aphasia), but all of Season 2, The Tower, will highlight his struggles with the condition, the ableism he encounters [looks directly at David using this as another way to try and invalidate Logan's autonomy], the internalized ableism he deals with, and the positive aspects of his condition -- inspired by what Sharon Stone had to say about her aphasia, and also this bit i read about Gabby Gifford's case.

Disabled people are asked to graciously accept the altruism of the community instead of expecting inclusion as part of being fellow humans. It is not benevolent or remarkable to meet someone's federally mandated accommodations. Churches are excluded from this mandate only because many of them fought to keep disabled people out."

What system? There is no financial or social gain to being disabled, regardless of what TV shows tell you. Roughly 70 percent of disabled people are unemployed, and the majority of those of us who are employed make less than those who aren't disabled? The current system prevents people filing for disability from getting married or owning more than $2,000 in assets, forcing many of us into poverty. Around 60-80 percent of polling places in the US are still inaccessible, even though the law guaranteed us the right to access them over thirty years ago." It is still legal in twenty states to remove children from parental custody simply because a parent is disabled. We do not have the right to parent our own children. We do not have pay parity. We do not have the right to work or vote or enter the public sphere. Why would anyone fake disability? What would they gain?"
