No it's a great personal statement.

Diversity statements are more based on race, sexual orientation, etc.

I disagree. If he's disabled as a result of his traumatic brain injury, then it would warrant a diversity statement.

I'm confused what the point of diversity statement? I wrote my personal statement about my experience coming to America and ppl said it was a diversity statement. Should the personal statement discuss you as a person?

"Diversity" generally relates to race, ethnicity, socio-economic status and like identity-related qualities, but can also encompass life experiences that equip you with a unique perspective or outlook.  Therefore, I believe you can leverage your traumatic injury as a basis for diversity if you can articulate, convincingly, that is has resulted in your having a diverse worldview, distinct personality, or unique interest in the law. 

I think this could make for an exceptional Diversity Statement.  If you require more help or need any more questions, please feel free to contact me at kal@writetrackadmissions.com.
