He would have the autonomy to tell people about his condition, and his next of kin would take over that responsibility if he is unable to do so. If what you said is true, that does not bode well for his condition, and he may very well be in a coma.
They also said further details about the accident (and Byrd's condition) would be released as soon as Byrd's mother gave consent for the medical information to be released into the public record.
ETA: I pray that this is not the case.

I should've mentioned that I thought what I reported seeing on ESPN made this pretty implicit. I should have done a better job parsing between-the-lines since, yes, if Byrd is able to communicate, he would have control over whether details about his condition were to be released or not.
The report on ESPN said that hospital officials were only going to release more information on his condition based on his mother's consent. So...

My thoughts exactly...I hope this isn't the case though...
