Brain Trauma in itself never was and never will be a deviant. There are many people who have never suffered brain trauma who are born with or who later develop deviant characteristics. And this happens without suffering inflicted trauma to the brain. And there are many who have suffered trauma to the brain who don't show or don't develop significant deviations in their thought processes.
So I can't think of any reasons why people should understand what simply isn't true to begin with. Blanket stereotyping seldom wins support to unjustified claims.
Perhaps you might want to re-phrase your question or re-access your assumption.

Well since you obviously don't understand it by your own question - that could be a beginning.
Are you trying to saying that people who have suffered from brain trauma might engage in deviant behavior that is no fault of their own? And people don't believe that?
The brain is unseen. We have all kinds of tools designed to help us understand how the brain works, but they are still suspect. If you look at brain scans they seem like some psychedelic mumbo jumbo - they just aren't within the capability of most people to fully understand.
If we know so much about how the brain works why can't we fix it?
That is what people wonder. So if a guy goes on a murderous rampage because his brain is wrong in some way - why doesn't he know he is doing wrong and ask for help? Why doesn't he stop once he see what he does? Why does he do it again and again and again.
The idea of a malfunctioning brain just is not something we can understand. We have to assign blame to someone or there is no resolution to the pain caused by the person with the damaged brain.

There are neurons firing in the brain, some trauma can upset the balance. I am not sure if you are inquiring about trauma, i.e., head injury or stroke, which can change brain function. My husband had a stroke, he changed from one of the nicest people you ever met, to a hateful, feces throwing, rude man. People continue to study the human brain and its chemistry. Cerain chemicals kill brain cells, same as injuries.

Most people don't care, they are so caught up in their private lives, that nothing else matters. It's ALL about ME, ME, ME.
