Hiya, thanks to a very good friend who reminded me this was up and running i am finally here. Having just read some of the comments already posted i thought i would explain what happend to me when i lose my speech control and my command of the English language comes out all wrong.
There is no warning and sometimes no clouds!! I can be talking about a certain subject and "WHAM!! When i should have said " Shall we go to the beach today? Comes out as " Shall somebody close the door for tommorow!!?? Totally non sensical and outright silly!! this happens on avarage about 12/15 times a day, (Not the same sentance mind you !!LOL ) Thankfully my darling Elaine can usually read my mind or work out what i was going to say and says it for me !! As you can guess this is not always the case and someimes i might be in a shop talking absolute nonsense!! what we do do, or what Elaine does is explain very quickly that i have AD and we have found that mostly its the best way. And in a way its like facing it head on as well, as i prefer to do. sometimes this is not always the case and i do notice the looks but overall i just ignore them. When it first started to happen i used to joke about it and say things like "Blah Blah Bl;ah as if i was an actor messing up his lines, but whhen i tried the second or third time to say the same thing with no success it no longer became a joke! i dont really dwell on what is happening inside my head/brain, , i think if i did i would be more depresed that usual and no amount of thinking about it is going to make it go away is it? I have noticed it happening a lot more latley and can be so frustrating but as they say " these things are sent" i am also getting a little worse on the keyboard as well and you wouldnt belieive how long it takes me to write something like this after all the correctios and spelling mistakes i make, but, i have made a pact with myself, as long as i am able, and have breath in my body i will cotinue to write on here for as long as humaly possible, no matter how long it takes!! Also Elaine is picking up more and more each day the way round a keyboard and is not far off her first e mail. Best wishes, Norrms and family xxx
