    Great story, 7.30. It's so important that awareness of childhood dementia grows. Kids urgently need more research, improved care, and meaningful inclusion. Awareness is key to making that happen.

    One kid having dementia is tragic. But two kids? I have no words for how terrible that would be.

    This is just absolutely awful, I couldn’t imagine having my children from babies teaching them how to learn and do things to be nearly back at that stage at 14, I pray for these families having to plan their childrens funerals 💔❤️

      Maybe....but with dementia/Alzheimer's being called diabetes type 3 I wonder if a strict ketogenic diet has been tried to examine the role of insulin and metabolic pathways
