Welcome back! It's around a year now since Mark was first diagnosed with Young Onset Alzheimer's Disease. This month, we have a chat about how the year has been. We're also telling you about some of the things that we've found helpful recently as we learn to live with dementia.

ABOUT US

We're Mark and Heather and we talk about our daily adventures living with Mark's diagnosis of Young Onset Alzheimer's Disease. We're aiming to share information we've found useful, things we're finding challenging and any tips and tricks we come across along the way. Come back at the beginning of every month for a new video!

* Mark came up with the title "The Everyday Adventures of Dementia Man". For us, it's a way of seeing humour in a challenging situation. If we couldn't laugh at the absurdities that dementia brings, we'd never make it through. We definitely don't mean to belittle anyone's experience and we're not ignoring the big challenges that dementia brings. Sometimes it can be very sad and hard. But when we can, we're determined to get on with enjoying life and learning new ways to cope and thrive.
