[quote=Anonymous]My dad has this. It's terrible. He'll know the word and struggle so hard to get it out but can't. He can also visually recognize a word but doesn't have the ability to vocalize it. Meaning, he can read perfectly and can even write very well, but he can hardly speak coherently. It's completely different from dementia and Alzheimer's. It can, however, come before those disorders as a precursor. His stems from a head injury during a minor car accident. A lady side swiped him running late for work and he hit his head fairly hard on the top door frame part. He was, unfortunately, driving an older car without side airbags at the time while his was in the shop. It was a car he and my mom had been saving for my nephew when he turned 16. After it happened, he said he was so thankful that the car was wrecked and they didn't make the mistake of giving it to my nephew. With Bruce, for someone whose life was speaking, that must be so soul-crushing. [/quote]
