[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You didn't miss the signs, you were in denial. Knowledge isn't what's missing here, a commitment to act is. [/quote] I think denial implies willfully ignoring the signs -- but sometimes it is more subtle than that and sometimes it is partly about not understanding the disease. In retrospect my mom had some early symptoms before she was diagnosed -- things like being less friendly and more quiet when meeting new people, telling me the same stories over and over (I thought she was just getting more self-involved), getting really bad at Words with Friends. I noticed changes but was not worried since she was still able to basically function and would go out for the day and never get lost (I think from the trailer to that movie Still Alice I thought one of the first signs of Alzheimer's was getting lost).
