Interesting Jennifer.

When Lionel saw a consultant Neuropsychologist two years before official diagnosis he stated "highly intelligent, memory loss not significiant, but speech and language impairment apparent".

No one else had picked up on the speech or language at that stage, more behavioural problems.
