@GottaLaff. "Probable #Dementia" as #psychologist #JohnGartner calls it.
Here is a chart in my #memoir about my father's early-onset #Alzheimer's, written with #neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller, detailing the different kinds of #aphasia, where the "assault," as #doctors call it, first starts in the #brain, and the #diagnosis.
@cindyweinstein Sorry, but I don't support armchair diagnoses.
I've cared for many loved ones with Alzheimer's. He doesn't appear to have it, but I have no idea. So I don't speculate.
@GottaLaff. I get it. I find Dr. John Gartner's conversations with Salon's Chauncey DeVega very illuminating on this topic. You probably know this already but the doctor has a petition going with many healthcare professionals sounding the alarm.
@cindyweinstein I do know, yes.
@GottaLaff @cindyweinstein Personally, I dismiss Trump’s episodes as a performance given that the man was a paid TV performer. Also his cunning management of the courts belies arguments he’s suffering from dementia. #AintDrinkingtheKoolAis
@JBShakerman @GottaLaff. Performing #dementia. What a strange possibility. I wonder when the performance and the reality converge. Totally anecdotal and I am the furthest thing from a #neurologist, I have to say listening to him (esp. when he says a wrong word & tries to pretend that he hasn't) resonates to a tee with loved ones who have suffered from dementia. Also because everything he (and other #MAGAs say) is a projection, his obsession w/the #MCI & #Biden's cognitive health seems important.
